Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Draft Public Transport Bill 2015: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
Not all cases. In most cases, that is a push the wheelchair into the vehicle arrangement and little extra effort is required. If a person had a condition where they could not even do that or could not lift luggage, I cannot see how one can do one and not the other. We would have an issue in that case as to whether that person was suitable to operate as a taxi driver. Part of the job is to be able to give some level of assistance but it is a low level of assistance and very few people would be affected by that.
