Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Accessibility of Public Transport for People with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

It is fair to say there is but it is also a function of the bespoke nature of the stops. In some cases, if little intervention is required and we just have to do a small rejigging of a kerb line or something, the councils are more amenable. It is smaller-scale work. In other cases, we must remove parking and widen the footpath by 2 m. The Deputy can see how that is far more problematic for the obvious reasons. It is a different experience and it does require encouragement with regard to the council with regard to moving on.
