My officials have made enquiries with City of Dublin ETB (CDETB) in relation to your query.
We understand from CDETB, that when making their application for supports under the Fund for Students with a Disability (FSD), that the learner concerned did not declare that they had a physical disability.
CDETB have confirmed that they will now re-engage with the learner on their application for transport.
