Primary Medical Certificates
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-29
============================================================

Seán Canney (IND), Galway East

I raise with the Minister the issue of primary medical certificates. Does he have any plans to extend or broaden the criteria under which people can apply for such certificates? They are a very useful support for those who need them but I find many people visiting my constituency office who have children who need special vehicles but do not qualify because they are not physically in a wheelchair or have not lost a limb. It is important that we look at this issue compassionately.
