A large number of applications were submitted to the SPSV grant scheme.
Disability rights activists are calling for a review of wheelchair accessible taxis, and their availability to people with a disability.
The Wheelchair Accessible SPSV Grant Scheme from the National Transport Authority, had around 2,800 applications in a nine day period since applications opened earlier this month.
The Irish Wheelchair Association says there are concerns wheelchair users are not always being prioritised by accessible taxis.
Coordinator of the Irish Wheelchair Resource and Outreach Centre in Laois, Sylvia Rouget says further measures need to be introduced:
