Vol. 576 No. 6

Written Answers. - Disabled Drivers.

Bernard J. Durkan

Ceist:

159 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the position in regard to the interdepartmental review of the 1994 disabled drivers and disabled passengers tax concessions; when it is expected to extend the current limits of the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30456/03]

As I have indicated in replies to previous questions on this issue, an interdepartmental review group has examined the disabled drivers' and disabled passengers' tax concessions schemes. I have received the report of the group and it is being considered. Any recommendations contained in the report in respect of medical criteria and other conditions of the scheme will receive full consideration. The report is a substantive one and needs to be studied carefully. I envisage that the report will be made available publicly after it has been completed.
