Disabled denied full access to Killarney tourist site

A well-known disability rights campaigner has called for a full audit of a popular tourist attraction to find out where it “falls short” under the Disability Act 2005.

Access to Ross Castle in Killarney, Co Kerry, is limited to the ground floor for people with disabilities and only by prior appointment.

The visitor amenity is also exempted under the Disability Act from having to make certain facilities available for wheelchair users.
