Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021, and Disability and Transport: Discussion
Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
What I intend to do, and obviously this is with the agreement of members, is write to the Minister for Transport, the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, and the Secretary General of the Department of Transport specifically stating that we have had the various groups in before us in terms of people impacted by disabilities. I am referring to the Irish Wheelchair Association, the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind and the National Council for the Blind Ireland. I will state that they have made submissions to the Department and that we have noted that the submissions have been acknowledged. I will ask for constructive active engagement. I will ask for a meeting with the representative bodies to discuss the specific items that they have raised. I will ask how they will be addressed and for a meeting to be arranged as a matter of urgency.
