Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Inclusive Transport Schemes: Discussion
Mr. Pat Carty:
As Mr. Fox said, it will not be tailor-made for everyone. We need to identify a budget. It is more of an occupational therapist-type situation. We would need people on the board who could identify the areas and all that. As a person with a disability, I know it will not be tailor-made. It will be a bit like a points system. It will be graded in some way. The main thing is to keep it simplified. If it is too tailor-made, we will be back to the 1960s and we will have nothing. There are many capable people there. When their heads are put together the answers will come. Not enough pressure has been applied to get it to happen by a deadline. I think Mr. Fox has said enough about the areas we should look at.
