Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 May 2013
611. Deputy Stephen S. Donnelly asked the Minister for Health if he will review the case of a person (details supplied); if there is any way in which their disability allowance can be retained after next month; if there is any alternative allowances available to them; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23701/13]
View answerThe Government is very conscious of the needs of people with a disability. The payment of Mobility Allowance will continue until June. A Project Review Group has been working to seek solutions which do not run counter to the Equal Status Acts. The review will be presented to Government by the end of this month. At this stage, it is not possible to pre-empt the outcome of the review or the decision of the Government. Announcements will be made following a Government decision on the matter.
