The free travel scheme provides free travel on the main public and private transport services for those eligible under the scheme. These include road, rail and ferry services provided by companies such as Bus Átha Cliath, Bus Éireann and Iarnród Éireann, as well as Luas and services provided by over 80 private transport operators.
The person concerned has a continuing entitlement to Free Travel since 26th September 2017 and their current Free Travel Public Services Card is about to expire.
The person concerned has been contacted and a new 3 year extended card has been requested. The person concerned will receive their new card by post in the next 7-10 days.
I hope this clarifies the issue for the Deputy.
