Vol. 426 No. 7
72 Mr. Boylan asked the Minister for Finance if he intends to have the Houses of the Oireachtas made more accessible to people who have physical handicaps, in particular those people confined to wheelchairs especially in view of the commendable appointment of a disabled person to the Senate.
I am pleased to say that following recent work, most areas of the Houses of the Oireachtas complex are now accessible to disabled people. Means of access to any remaining areas are currently being examined. Work will be completed shortly on the ramps to the public entrance where a new lift serving the Visitor's Gallery has been installed.
