The percentage of public transport vehicles which are wheelchair accessible is a matter for the public transport providers and I have referred the Deputy's question to Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.

Public Transport accessibility is being progressed by my Department through the implementation of the Department's Sectoral Plan under the 2005 Disability Act, a copy of which is available on my Department's website.
