Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
377. Deputy Marc Ó Cathasaigh asked the Minister for Transport his plans to increase the level of available funding for the wheelchair accessible vehicle grant scheme 2023, given the high level of interest and over-subscription to the scheme, with applicants remaining on a waiting list; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38655/23]
View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including administration of wheelchair accessible vehicle grants, is a matter for the independent transport regulator, the National Transport Authority (NTA), under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016.
I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of the SPSV industry and accordingly, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
