Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 December 2018
146. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Finance the number of applications received for the disabled drivers and disabled passengers tax concessions scheme in each of the past seven years; and the number of successful and unsuccessful applications, respectively, in each of these years, in tabular form. [50330/18]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the following table includes the total number of applications received, approved (successful) and rejected (unsuccessful) under the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers scheme for the years 2014 to 2018 (year to date). Revenue has also confirmed that for years prior to 2014, the only records retained relate to ‘approved applications’. Consequently, the ‘total number of applications’ and the number of ‘unsuccessful applications’ for those years are unavailable.
