Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

All buses purchased by Dublin Bus since 2000 are low-floor and wheelchair accessible. I understand from the company that over 72% of buses in the Dublin Bus fleet are now in this category. This figure will increase each year as the bus fleet is replaced and expanded and all buses will be accessible by 2012 in line with Transport Access for All, my Department's sectoral plan under the Disability Act 2005, a copy of which is in the Oireachtas Library.
