Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Accessibility of Public Transport for People with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)
1:30 pm
Mr. Jim Meade:
Then we draw in from other stations. There is obviously a limit to what we can do. We had an experience on the DART a year and a half ago where a user group organised an outing and did not inform anyone and we had some 12 or 14 wheelchairs arrive at once. That will cause a problem, but even the wheelchair-user group said that was somewhat unfair. They were making a point and it is a valid point that we cannot have that many users turn up, but we have a cascade effect where we can bring more people to a station if required.
