============================================================

Pauline Tully (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

People have raised with me the issue of the primary medical certificate in one of the areas in Westmeath. It is not in my constituency but as disability spokesperson they came to me. They informed me there has been a waiting list of 45 applications since March. The offices are closed and people are working from home. It requires a face-to-face interview. That is causing the delay. Many of these people are in dire circumstances. Could this be speeded up or dealt with, please?
