Amharc ar fhreagraOver the past twelve months, the Department has made significant progress towards the implementation of the Vehicle Adaptation Scheme. Through extensive engagement and consultation with key stakeholders, the core principles and parameters of the Scheme have been established. This, in turn, has enabled the Department to develop a high-level framework for its operation.
The Department is currently considering a number of options for the administration of the Scheme. Subject to timely Government approval and the completion of the necessary preparatory work, it is possible that the VAS will open for applications in Q1 2027.
