Enda Kenny
Question:335 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs his views on the fact that, while the Government pays substantial subvention to Iarnród Éireann on an annual basis, free travel cannot be availed of by a significant number of those who hold such passes due to the fact that they are disabled and access to trains is not a feasible proposition; if he will consider making free travel passes applicable in respect of taxis which would have greater access to the disabled community; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
