131 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his Department has competed the report of the interdepartmental review group on the disabled drivers and disabled passengers (tax concession) scheme; if the conclusions have been communicated to the Revenue Commissioners; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9397/00]
The deliberations of the interdepartmental group of officials engaged in a review of the scheme of reliefs from vehicle registration tax and value added tax on vehicles and from excise duty on fuel used by severely and permanently physically disabled persons as drivers and passengers is continuing. As the Deputy is aware this scheme is operated on a day to day basis by the Revenue Commissioners.
In addition to the representative from my Department, the group is comprised of representatives of the Department of Finance, the Revenue Commissioners and the Department of Health and Children. On completion of the review the interdepartmental group will furnish a report for consideration by the Department of Finance.
