Ms Anne Graham:

I will begin by speaking about buses and wheelchair spaces. It is not that we have a second wheelchair space on buses but a buggy space. There are two spaces on 70% of our Dublin fleet and we will be rolling this out as the fleet is replaced. We will continue to have these two spaces available. It is about trying to find spaces for buggies for parents with young children as well as providing for wheelchair users.

We expect drivers to try to manage this as best they can and not necessarily to get out of their cabs. At least when a wheelchair user is approaching and people are standing in the wheelchair space, the driver should ask them to move. If there is a buggy in the space the driver should ask the person to move the buggy to the buggy space and try to manage it this way. There is no doubt that sometimes this can cause conflict.
