Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-11-06
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I move recommendation No. 14:
In page 45, after line 35, to insert the following:
“Report on backlog of appeals to Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal
30. The Minister shall, within one month of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on the backlog of appeals to the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal, making specific reference to the effectiveness of these measures.”.
As the Minister of State will probably be aware, there is a huge issue with the backlog of appeals to the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal. We are asking for a report on this important issue. It is a reasonable request. I hope the Minister of State will accept this recommendation.
