Ceist:316 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that many people applying for the disabled persons parking badge find the procedure very bureaucratic; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that some of the requirements of the application, for example, the requirement to have a passport size photograph, presents great difficulties for some disabled people; if he will make recommendations to local authorities and all other agencies to review procedures in this regard particularly in cases where the badge is being renewed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
