Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Universal Design In Building: Discussion
Ms Joan Carthy:
Yes, we would agree. I think Mr. Dolan hit the nail on the head. It is that idea of once there is opportunity and choice for people with disabilities in relation to housing, that is fine. We would have no expectation or reason to feel that every single development, especially when one is looking at building on top of shops and whatever else, would have to become wheelchair accessible. We have to work with what can be realised and what can happen. What is important is that there is choice - options and opportunity for people to either buy, rent or through social housing.
