Some polling stations have no wheelchair access

A number of polling stations for today’s general election are not wheelchair accessible, voters with mobility issues have been warned.

A support officer for people with disabilities has said it is “disgraceful” that locations without wheelchair access have been chosen for polling stations.

Martin Naughton of the Disability Federation of Ireland is a wheelchair user who said that measures must be in place to ensure that all voters can exercise their right to cast a ballot.
