42. Deputy Shane Moynihan asked the Minister for Transport to consider amending the criteria for the disabled person’s parking card to allow for drivers with ADHD or anxiety to apply for the permit, as well as parents of children with autism who are at flight risk; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI wish to advise that, at present, the disabled parking permit is available to people living in Ireland whose mobility is severely restricted, whether they are drivers or passengers, and also to those who are registered blind.
The Deputy may wish to note that my Department is currently undertaking a review of the Disabled Parking Scheme, with a particular focus on eligibility and need.
