Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Disabled People's Organisations and the Implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

Mr. Joe McGrath:

Transport in rural areas needs to be integrated. Mr. Kavanagh said that buses passed by his door and he does not get picked up.

There should be stops outside his door or a bus that can come and get him and bring him to his place of work or wherever he wants to go if he does not drive. At the end of the day, if we do not have good infrastructure for getting around in rural Ireland or large cities, people will use cars or get their family members, if they are lucky enough to have them, to drive them around from place to place.
