'It makes me so angry': Pensioner forced to drive disabled son 20km to catch train to work

A Meath pensioner who is forced to travel with her disabled adult son on a train to and from Dublin every day due a lack of help for wheelchair users says the stress of the commute is wearing her out.

Pina Cassoni (aged 67) has taken on the gruelling task of travelling 20km from her home in Skyrne, Co. Meath, to the M3 Parkway alongside her son Joseph (aged 41) who is paralysed from the waist down every morning to ensure he can safely access the safety clearance gap between the train and the platform on his 40-minute journey to work.
