Disability Bill 2004: Report Stage.
2:00 pm
Tony Kett (Fianna Fail)
I agree with Senator O'Rourke. If the amendments are adopted they will be part and parcel of the legislation and people must act upon them. To ask private bodies to make their building accessible even though only a minute proportion of their business relates to the disability sector would be unfair. A "one size fits all" approach is not appropriate and there is a danger that these businesses would be affected commercially, which would amount to cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.
