Social Welfare Schemes

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (SF), Cork South-Central

This week is national epilepsy week. I am raising a very important issue which matters to people with epilepsy, namely, improved access to the free travel scheme for people with epilepsy. As the Minister will be aware, epilepsy is a complex individual condition. People living with it face a wide range of challenges. We are awaiting a final report from the Department on proposals Epilepsy Ireland made on this issue. Why has this report not been finalised? Will the Minister give a commitment on when it will be ready?
