Mr. Ray Hernan:

It is not, particularly on our commuter routes where capacity in terms of bus size is becoming a greater issue. When a 63-seat bus already does not have excess capacity, removing four seats for a requirement that may not arise is not practical. However, there are two dedicated buses that provide wheelchair access everyday on a number of routes into Dublin. We try to meet the requirement in that way as opposed to by meeting random or rare applications on other routes. The number of people who use our service is minimal. We need to be cognisant of that. We like to believe that we can encourage more use, but it would not be practical to take four seats off each bus all day everyday.
