With many farmers and people in rural areas needing to avail of the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers Scheme, a Galway county councillor has expressed concern over delays in the processing of primary medical certificates (PMCs).
Cllr. Gabe Cronnelly, who is an above right knee
amputee, said there are 1,500 people across the State at present who should have PMCs instead of having to be added to a waiting list.
One of those on the waiting list is Tony Fogarty, a double amputee who lives just outside the village of Ballyroan in Laois.
I applied last year in late May or early June. Getting a PMC and an adapted car would mean I would be more independent. My brother lives down the road and I have good neighbours but it would be good to be able to go to the shops independently.
