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.
