Concerns Clare Disabled Drivers Will Be Worse Off Under Revamped Scheme

It's feared Clare's disabled drivers will be left worse off under a new vehicle adaption scheme due to be rolled out.   The Government is currently progressing a grant programme which will cover minor adaptations to cars for people with mobility needs.   The coalition is also reviewing the existing disabled drivers and passengers scheme which offers VAT and VRT reliefs, sparking concerns from industry leaders that it may be phased out.   Clare Aontú Representative June Dillon has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that clarity is urgently needed. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Desmond Lillis, a disabled driver. Photo (c) YAROVA from YAROVA via Canva
