Area Development Management Limited is administering and managing the taxi hardship payments scheme which is implementing the recommendations of the taxi hardship panel report. Payments under the scheme do not represent compensation but rather compassionate payments in respect of extreme personal financial hardship. The processing and consideration of applications under the scheme is being undertaken by ADM independently of my Department.

While my Department has no details of individual applications made to ADM under the scheme, I understand from enquiries that no application from the person in question was received by ADM under the scheme which is now closed for applications. I have no role in the review of applications or the consideration of appeals under the scheme.
