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 makes several points that are relevant to Iarnród Éireann, one of which is the importance of timely and accurate passenger information. Our current endeavours in this area are to improve the information systems on the trains. We have done DART+ and are doing our Cork fleet. The information displays in a number of our stations have been greatly improved but the technology that drives that still needs renewal and upgrading and we are working with our funders to get that done. I fully appreciate that there are issues. Our new way-finding information system, which I know will not support everybody, has been rolled out across the vast majority of our stations.
