It would cost €190m to make every taxi in the country wheelchair accessible, committee hears

Considerable resources would be needed to achieve the desired changes to existing services, including a project €190m cost to make all taxis fully accessible, the committee heard.

Covid-19 and cost limitations have undermined efforts to improve accessibility on public transport for people with disabilities, an Oireachtas committee has heard.

Consultation with disability groups on transport issues was not all it could have been before the pandemic, the National Transport Authority (NTA) also said.
