Wheelchair user waiting six months for chair lift

A MOTHER of two foster children has been living with a hole in her floor — and no wheelchair lift — for six months because a firm that took a deposit to install the lift has not completed the work.

The company was accused yesterday of taking money from sick and vulnerable people.

The accusations against Cork-based medical supplies company, Mobility Ireland, has led to calls for greater checks and balances on the local authority disabled grants scheme.
