Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 March 2018
37. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Finance if the circumstances in a primary medical certificate application by a person (details supplied) will be investigated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10887/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs stated in my response to the Deputy on 25 January 2018 (PQ 3851/18), I am advised by Revenue that the person concerned, who was a first time applicant, was deemed by them not to have qualified for the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers Scheme and as such was not eligible to access the benefits of the scheme. I am further advised that Revenue informed the family member of the person who submitted the application of this fact.
The Department of Finance has no role in the assessment of applications for a Primary Medical Certificate, nor does it have any role in the assessment of applications under the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers Scheme.
