I thank our guests for those replies. It is important to get lifts up and running for wheelchair users, as our guests know. I can only speak about Carlow. I monitor the wheelchair lifts there. We are delighted the new bridge will soon be installed. The work has been going on a long time but we are told it will be another few weeks. I am delighted because the facilities are badly needed. I understand that the Covid-19 restrictions have made it hard. However, it is important that it is a priority to fix lifts that are not working in railway stations. It is important that those lifts are there for people to use. I would like those lifts up and running as quickly as possible, particularly in Carlow.
