Irish Rail criticised for disabled facilities

IARNRÓD ÉIREANN has been criticised for a “twin track approach” to disabled people in Cork.

The criticism comes from MEP Brian Crowley, who has been confined to a wheelchair since an accident in 1980, and who has championed the rights of disabled people in the European Parliament.

The rail company is building new stations along the soon to be reopened Cork-Midleton line, that will be fully accessible.
