Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at Local Level: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Billy Gilpin:
The Senator said earlier that we are on a journey and he is entirely correct. The end of that journey is to have a fully accessible network. As we all know, however, there are stages to get there. The interventions Mr. Kenny pointed out in his opening address and hopefully some of the ones we have explained show our commitment, along with the support and help of the National Transport Authority, to do that. We are not perfect. We do not always get it right and we have things to learn. As Mr. Murphy said, however, our passion is to present a fully accessible network.
