Margaret Murphy O'Mahony (Cork South West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

As I represent a very rural constituency I have a very many questions for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, and thus in essence for the Taoiseach. My question today is about accessibility to public transport. There is no bus from west Cork to Cork city with wheelchair accessibility. I have submitted several parliamentary questions and every time I get the answer that 80% of Bus Éireann's fleet is wheelchair accessible. West Cork, unfortunately, comes under the 20%. When will people who live in west Cork and who have a disability be able to get a bus to Cork city?
