Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

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

9:30 am

Ms Alannah Murray:

There would still have to be an overhaul in the taxi system. Taxis are just as bad. I can never get an accessible taxi. I go to college in Dundalk and there is one accessible taxi for the entire town. One cannot get it after 6 p.m. If I wish to go out and socialise with my friends or to be a regular 21 year old student who goes out and makes horrendous life decisions, I cannot be equal with my peers because that provision is not in place for me.
