The free travel scheme provides free travel on the main public and private transport services for approximately 800,000 people, elderly, disabled and carers at an annual cost of €77 million.
The Government made clear in the “Statement of Government Priorities, 2014-2016” that it is committed to the full retention of the Free Travel Scheme. Consequently, I have not considered the measures referred to by the Deputy and am therefore not in a position to provide the information requested.
