Transport | The monies raised through the persons with reduced mobility charge are spent on the provision of services and supports for people with reduced mobility

QUESTION

To ask the Minister for Transport if all the monies raised through the persons with reduced mobility charge are spent on the provision of services and supports for people with reduced mobility; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY
The monies raised through the PRM charge are offset by the costs of running the PRM service including assistance and supports, equipment and vehicles. Over the past five years, there has been an equilibrium between the funds raised and the expenses incurred. As part of Dublin and Cork Airports financial reporting, standalone statements of PRM Turnover and Costs are produced annually, and these are the subject of external audit. These statements are publicly available on the IAA website.
