Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

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

9:30 am

Ms Alannah Murray:

Yes, it must be enforced. There are muddy waters in this country regarding human rights in that context. I am not an equal citizen in many ways but this is the first issue on which I must fight for those who cannot do so. I am very lucky that I have a very big mouth and loud voice but others do not. It is my duty to sit here and fight for such people because if we do not fight for each other, no one will. Some people do so but it takes a village to get on a bus at this stage and that is unacceptable.
