Mr. Art O'Leary:

We have done that. We have been to 300 in the past year or so. We may be of some assistance to returning officers here. Particularly in rural areas, if you cannot use the two-classroom school in a village, the nearest accessible centre might be between 12 and 15 km away. Some of them say they have got no voters with a disability they are aware of, so it is safe to use this. I do not think that is good enough. However, in areas where works were required to put in a ramp, they have gone to the Department of Education, which has refused to fund it because there is no day-to-day need. There are no pupils with a disability in that school, and they will not fund it because it is a once in every five years event. This is an area where we will start to dip our toe in the water. In this day and age, there should be no such thing as an inaccessible public building. Our acceptable figure for polling stations with no accessibility is zero.
