Committee on Public Petitions

Fermoy Weir: Discussion

Mr. Paul Kavanagh:

I know the committee has another hat to wear and other work to do. We are the only town in Ireland with a mark 3, wheelchair accessible boat which cannot safely launch or dock at the moment, preventing people with varied levels of ability from appreciating our magnificent river, its habitats and environs. This is a clear breach of the EU Convention on Human Rights for disabled persons. What more pressure can we put on?
