Hi Gillian and Sean,
While we're no experts in adapting cars for disabilities, we can give you some general advice. First up, it all depends on which type of finance deal you have signed up to and how far through it you are. If you think you'd like to adapt your current car, and it's still technically owned by the lender, then you'll have to get in touch with them first and foremost to discuss the situation.
My feeling is that it would be simpler to start afresh and get finance for an adapted car or one that is to be adapted from the start for you.
I suggest you also get in touch with the Disabled Drivers Association of Ireland for advice.
