Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2026
420. Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Minister for Transport if he is aware of the number of applications received in the latest round of the wheelchair accessible vehicle grant scheme; if he is aware that only a small number of applicants were successful in receiving a provisional grant offer due to constraints on available funding; his plans to increase funding for wheelchair accessible vehicle grants; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12479/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe 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.
