During the week a news programme was broadcast that featured a person with a disability availing of the new system of ramps. The person was brought to place A but he or she was left at that location. In other words, there is a lack of follow through in terms of the arrangements made. The NTA is the accountable body, I think. Why can the NTA not insist that such gaps in service never happen again?
Cost has been mentioned. I am sure that the NTA could provide a specific and separate amount in its budget for additionality, if a lack of money is the problem.
