Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 June 2026
175. Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú asked the Minister for Transport the grants and supports that are available to organisations and charities to cover the purchase of specialist transport or vehicles for disabled visitors and customers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45427/26]
View answerI wish to advise that access to transport for people with disabilities is a multifaceted issue, that involves work carried out by multiple Government departments.
The Department of Transport has been tasked with developing a new Vehicle Adaptation Scheme as one specific personal transport response, in the context of broader Government consideration of integrated transport and mobility supports for those with a disability. However, support for the capital cost of vehicles is not within the remit of my Department.
