Kennedy Sisters Call For Dart Flash Mob

With Irish Rail about to celebrate the reduction of their 24-hour notice for disabled people needing assistance to travel on their trains down to four hours, there are those who don’t feel like partying.

Calling on all passengers to join their flash protest at Dublin’s Connolly station to coincide with Irish Rail’s planned launch there at 10am on Monday, January 29th, Wheelchair Rights Ireland state they are ‘appalled’ by the event.

The contact for Wheelchair Rights Ireland is [email protected], which is the email address of well-known Greystones activist Margaret Kennedy, who, along with her sister, Ann, has long been campaigning for the rights of the country’s disabled. A better standard of wheelchair has been their main bone of contention with the HSE, the latter famously referring to the sisters as ‘serial complainers’ in a leaked January 2017 memo.

When it comes to those needing assistance if travelling by train, Wheelchair Rights Ireland are seeking full travel equality, ‘which requires manned stations & no notice at all‘.
