Kilkenny woman without wheelchair for four days after it was not loaded onto flight

After landing back at Dublin Airport, Emily Felix was told her wheelchair could not be located on the plane and that it had likely not been loaded on at Charleroi, Belgium.

A Kilkenny woman says she is "hugely traumatised" after having been left without her wheelchair for four days because it was not put on her flight home to Ireland from Belgium.

When the chair was eventually returned to her, its paint was heavily scratched and its footplate was damaged. It will now require re-painting and some repair work, which could end up costing hundreds of euros.
