172.

Written answers

Minister for Finance

As the Deputy is aware, any person who receives a Primary Medical Certificate may avail of the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Scheme. These certificates are issued by the HSE.

Accordingly, it may be more appropriate to ask my colleague the Minister for Health the number of successful applications for the Primary Medical Certificate per county.
