As the Deputy is aware, a holder of a Primary Medical Certificate may access the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Scheme.

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the table below indicates the number of claims for VRT and VAT relief and excise duty relief in respect of drivers, passengers and organisations and the cost to the Exchequer of each claim. The figures below are in respect of those holders of a Primary Medical Certificate who have applied to and are members of the Scheme. 

The Deputy will appreciate that I do not have information on holders of a Primary Medical Certificate who did not subsequently apply to access the Scheme.
