Joe McHugh

Question:

213. Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Finance when tax concessions for disabled drivers will come under the remit of the Ombudsman; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15117/13]

Written answers

Minister for Finance

The First Schedule to the Ombudsman Act 1980, which shows Departments of State and other persons subject to investigation, lists the Department of Finance and the Revenue Commissioners as such bodies. In that regard, therefore, the scheme you refer to is already within the remit of the Ombudsman.
