Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 July 2022
296. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Defence his views on providing fully accessible changing places and toilet facilities open to the public in all buildings which his Department owns and public bodies and agencies under his remit to offer people with disabilities and carers a network of equipped spaces to take care of personal hygiene, in safety and comfort. [38714/22]
View answerThe Offices of the Department of Defence are secure and access controlled. They are not buildings that are usually open to the general public. As such, services in these buildings are not accessible to the general public.
Defence buildings occupied by the military are not open to the general public. On occasion some organisations, such as schools and sporting clubs, apply for use of Defence Forces facilities and, dependant on military requirements, a conditional Licence may be granted for the use of that facility.
