To clarify my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 880 of 10 July 2018 with regards to considering extending the free travel scheme to all people who have a disability and/or significant health issues, I will consider carefully all submissions in relation to proposals for the forthcoming Budget. The Government has not made any decisions in relation to measures to be introduced in Budget 2019. The Government will finalise its consideration of the Budget in the coming months having regard to all of its commitments. The outcome of this process will be announced on Budget Day.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

Barr
