Over 100 free travel passes confiscated in a year as many cards being used by another person

Just over 110 free travel passes were confiscated over the past year, mostly where they were being used by another person.

The Department of Social Protection said there had been on average nine cases a month discovered, with 73 relating to impersonation where a different person was found to be using the card.

There were a further six cases where the cardholder was no longer entitled to free travel and 29 instances where their Public Services Card had been blocked.
