Dublin is okay in so far as the majority of public transport is wheelchair accessible. Outside of Dublin, however, it is a different story. In some rural areas, there is no bus service from one end of the week to the next. Is there a particular focus on putting the new coaches into rural areas where there is an ageing population and accessibility issues? It is worrying that, in 2019, we are still being told that full accessibility across the country is a long way off.
