Question:

350. Deputy John Paul O'Shea asked the Minister for Transport to provide a breakdown, by county of the number of recipients of the wheelchair accessible vehicle grant scheme for each of the past five years for which data is available, if the table will categorise grant recipients into new or existing SPSV license holders and the total amounts allocated per annum per county, if he will further state whether he intends to reform the scheme or increase the available funding, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15100/26]

Written answers

Minister for Transport

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including the administration of the wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) grant, is a matter for the independent transport regulator, the National Transport Authority (NTA), under the provisions of the Consolidated Taxi Regulation Acts 2013 and 2016. I have no role in the day to day operations of the SPSV sector.

Accordingly, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Orders.
