Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
362 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Finance when a primary certificate in respect of disabled drivers will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29971/08]
View answerThe initial application for a Primary Medical Certificate under the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Regulations 1994 is made to the Senior Medical Officer of the relevant local Health Service Executive administrative area.
If the Primary Medical Certificate has been refused in this case, the named person may appeal the refusal to the Medical Board of Appeal, National Rehabilitation Hospital, Rochestown Avenue, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. I would point out that the Medical Board of Appeal is independent in the exercise of its functions.
