95. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Transport if he will direct Transport Infrastructure Ireland to review the 2020 changes to the disabled drivers and disabled passengers (toll exemption) scheme, particularly the withdrawal of toll exemption discs previously granted on a goodwill basis to registered charities that provide essential daily transport for adults with severe autism and intellectual disabilities; if he is aware that a service provider (details supplied) in Cork, an autism-specific adult day service, has had its exemption (originally granted in 2013 and renewed without issue until 2025) refused 2025, resulting in daily toll costs of €12–€16 that are unsustainable and will force the withdrawal of transport for two individuals from Fermoy and Mitchelstown; and if he will consider introducing a discretionary or grandfathering clause for pre-2020 goodwill cases operated by registered disability service providers in the public interest.
