This afternoon.
Clontarf, Dublin 3.
Members of the DART Access for All group including top pic from left Sean O’ Kelly with Saoirse Smyth and Sophia Mulvaney (above centre) hold a protest outside Clontarf DART Station where there is no access for wheelchairs only stairs at the entrance.

Clontarf Dart Station, opened in 1997. Some issues facing the government can be complicated but this I would have thought is relatively easy to address. Does this fall to the Dept of Transport?

or Finian McGrath at Dept of Justice

They really don’t give a fupp do they, regardless of who is in power we lack an effective method of holding them to account.
Maybe the Citizens Assembly could be used for this and more?
The buck stops with the subversive state within the state- otherwise known as Córas Iompair Éireann- not covered by FOI of course. Who’s your da should always be stated in the personal profile when applying for a job but then again- if you need to apply for a job with CIÉ- yeah who?
I’ll not name name names because the site could be liable but the woman who received the highest payment for gender discrimination in the history of the state is nowhere to be found on record because she signed a gag after an encounter with CIÉ.
She worked in heavy rail in Germany for most of her career- slowed the speed on a certain bridge coming into Connolly because of safety concerns- she was suspended- then replaced- then said bridge subsequently disintegrated.
She had their balls for earrings in the high court. Seven figure sum- go dig that one you ethical journalists- it most definitely did happen- I’ll give you a clue.

Fun Fact: The LUAS project was deliberately not given to CIE because the govt knew that they would trouser the money and fail to deliver to such an extent that creating and staffing an entirely new company (the Railway Procurement Agency) had a better chance of success (it did).
I have definitely been in an elevator at Clontarf Road station. Is it gone or something?
Irish Rail said the lifts are mostly put out of action due to vandalism… why are lifts so prone to vandalism? (or is it lack of maintenance or lack of speed of repair? or cheaply buiilt lifts) I mean non-working lifts is a thing the world over so why do they break down so much? lots of moving parts? but how vandals get at the moving parts?
