Vol. 513 No. 1
357 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Finance if he will make available to the Oireachtas the technical review on the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Regulations, 1994, recently completed by the Revenue Commissioners; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1540/00]
As I have previously informed the House, the Revenue Commissioners recently completed a technical review of the disabled drivers and disabled passengers tax concessions scheme. This review has a very specific focus in that it aims to address only the technical and operational problems with the present scheme, with a view to making the scheme operate in a more effective and cost-efficient manner for its present target group.
The Revenue report has been sent to the interdepartmental review group which is chaired by an official of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to help inform that group in its deliberations. I do not propose to make the Revenue report available in advance of the completion of the review by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
