Show Notes
During the week, Access for All had made a post about lifts at DART stations being out of use, but that information was only available at DART stations, not online. On top of the inaccessibility issues, a number of DART stations will be closed this bank holiday weekend due to engineering works, conveniently lining up with major road closures in Dublin due to the marathon. How does DART inaccessibility and disruptions affect you? Joining Andrea to discuss is Maia Dunphy, Broadcaster & Writer, Jim Aughney, Dublin Marathon Director, Sean O'Kelly, Disability Activist and Co-Founder of Access for All and more.
