Ireland ranked fourth in disabled tourism survey
Ireland has ranked fourth is a survey on suitability of each European nation for disabled tourists.
Using two filtering tools, UpCounsel scraped data on toilets, cafes, pubs and bars, restaurants, and public transport, with every item on the list classified as accessible. Then UpCounsel added the accessible and non-accessible results together and compared them.
Ireland came fourth on the list overall, just beaten out by Italy.
“The beautiful countryside, dramatic coastlines and fascinating history make Ireland a compelling holiday option, and UpCounsel’s research project shows that extends to disabled people too. Ireland scores particularly highly in its amount of accessible public toilets, as well as the quantity of cafes with wheelchair access,” said an UpCounsel spokesperson.
“However, it’s not all perfect in the Emerald Isle; accessible public transport is a lowly 11th, which means sightseeing all across the land may prove difficult for disabled travellers.
