MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Tuesday, May 07, 2019

QUESTION NO. 15

QUESTION: Councillor Rob Russell

To ask the Chief Executive if he has plans to contact the central remedial clinic in Firhouse with a view to supporting the implementation of their accessibility logo project across South Dublin?

REPLY:

The international symbol of access (ISA) is maintained as an international standard ISO 7001 image of the International Commission on Technology and Accessibility (ICTA), a committee of Rehabilitation International. There are no international plans to change this symbol at present, however we will continue to monitor international debates and developments in this regard.

The Council’s Disability Liaison, Access and Equality Officer will make contact with the CRC in Firhouse to explore opportunities for their participation in access awareness raising activities during National Accessibility Week 2019.
