Ms Anne Graham:

Yes, there is. All of our city fleet buses are wheelchair accessible. The coach fleet operated by Bus Éireann is 85% wheelchair accessible. It involves using a wheelchair lift. The difficulty with that technology is that it requires a great deal of space to use at a bus stop. There are not many wheelchair-lift accessible bus stops in rural towns, which presents a difficulty. We do, however, have a programme to have such bus stops. At the same time, we are looking at the fleet, particularly regional commuter services, and providing low floor access, instead of wheelchair lifts. That would remove the need to have the same space to operate. We have an order in for 52 such vehicles, some of which are in operation.
