Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2026
421. Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Minister for Transport his plans to change the qualifying criteria for the wheelchair accessible vehicle grant to ensure those who regularly provide their services to wheelchair users are prioritised over those who do not; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12480/26]
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.
