Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Accessibility of Public Transport for People with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Mr. Ciarán Delaney:
I wish to clarify something for anybody who is watching this meeting, and I apologise if I am putting Mr. O'Leary on the spot. To be clear, the NBRU and its colleagues in SIPTU have no issue with drivers being trained to operate the high-sided wheelchair lifts which are currently only being operated in the presence of supervisors. We have all agreed that there is an infrastructure issue. However, Mr. O'Leary would have no problem with the company training his members to operate the lift for a wheelchair passenger.
