It should not just be in the redevelopment and modernisation, which is great wherever that happens. That is good for those towns or cities. However, there are places where there is no requirement for development, but there is a requirement for a facility like that. These facilities offer incredible dignity to families and we should aspire to and work towards having them. Politically, if the request is made and work is done to identify how much it would cost to put into each station, it would be inclusive and a practical measure to improve the quality of the lives of people with disabilities. Can we work towards putting them in, for example, stations in Ballina, Claremorris, Castlebar, Westport?
