HEADED ITEM NO. 11

ACCESS LIFT FOR RATHFARNHAM SHOPPING CENTRE

Having examined the Disability Act 2005, it appears that it is only public buildings which have to be compliant and allow access to persons with disabilities.

‘Public Building’ is defined as a building or that part of a building, to which members of the public generally have access and which is occupied, managed or controlled by a public body. As the Rathfarnham Shopping Centre is not a public building it is not covered by the Disability Act.
