    Try notability Motability Ireland (Ashbourne) They're not cheap but they're good. You may be able to claim back the residual VRT on the value of your car, get free tolls and free road tax, which should offset the cost of the conversion.

    Citizens info has a very informative section on their website about this.

    Contact your local approved vehicle adaptation firm ....... the approved fitters are listed by the NSAI

    https://www.nsai.ie/Our-Services-(1)/Docs/Automotive/Disabled-Drivers/17-02-10-Vehicle-Adaptors.aspx

    Local adverts might have a suitable used seat available ...... but be aware that seat mountings are car specific (model & year).

    Both worth a call

    I don't see the "wilkergroup" on the approved list of adaptation firms.

    Also they seem to do large vehicle conversions rather than cars.

    The list is a list of officially approved firms.
    The customer should use one from the list in order to qualify for the various rebates etc for disabled drivers and passengers.

    No need to delete anything ....... I am only pointing out that there is an official list of approved fitters for the disabled drivers & passengers scheme, and those who wish to avail of that scheme should use one of the approved fitters.

    O yeah I no just don't want to be confusing anybody as you have said it would be in the OPs interest to use a approved fitter
