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

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I will speak briefly in support of this recommendation. As a member of the finance committee, I know it is an issue we have examined. This backlog has caused considerable distress both for those who work for the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal and, crucially, for the disabled drivers who have found themselves in limbo waiting for their appeals to be addressed. I endorse this recommendation.
