The cert provides a tax
relief or fuel rebate to disabled drivers and
passengers and can be used to help people adapt
their vehicles.
Fianna Fáil TD for Donegal Charlie McConalogue said:
“The current application criteria is extremely
restrictive and excludes a large number of people
with disabilities from qualifying for the scheme. In
simple terms, in order to qualify for the scheme, a
person has to be without a limb or completely
without the use of a limb. The fact of the matter is
that in many cases, the conditions that affect a
person’s mobility are not so clear cut." He said
people with Cerebral Palsy, MS and Spina Bifida are
being disqualified from the scheme. |
