Taoiseach: Monies allocated to Mobility Allowance "remain allocated"

The Taoiseach Enda Kenny is promising a new mobility grant scheme that is within the law.

Mr Kenny has come under fire in the Dáil this morning for what has been described as "a scandalous decision" to axe the Mobility Allowance and Motorised Transport Grant in four months because the Ombudsman Emily O'Reilly said they are illegal.
