Bid to move disabled carpark spaces ‘appalling’

A disability access group has said it is “appalled” at plans to relocate disabled parking spaces further away from Cork’s main civic building.

The Cork Access Group said it would make life even more difficult for people with disabilities trying to access City Hall to apply for grants or to attend civic functions.

“We are absolutely furious about this proposal,” said Donie O’Leary, secretary of the group, an umbrella body for several disability groups in the city.
