Seamus Brennan
Ceist:84 Mr. S. Brennan asked the Minister for Health the proposals, if any, he has to provide a scheme of grants for deaf and deaf and dumb people in view of the additional living costs associated with their disability; if his attention has been drawn to the additional difficulties experienced by deaf and deaf and dumb people in going about their daily business, and the frequent need for interpreters to assist with many aspects of ordinary life; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
