The Minister for Transport Shane Ross said in future public transport boards must specifically include those with ‘raw, personal, experience of disability’.

If that is you these board post will firstbe advertised on publicjobs.ie. 

Minister Ross said the process would begin today, he was speaking on Feb. 6th, 2018. to the Joint Committee on Transport at the Oireachtas. 

He added: "First to be advertised will be the National Transport Authority, whose role and responsibility for public transport is immense. I look forward to appointing a new director to this board in the coming months.  The transport operators and the NTA outlined at the earlier hearings plans for further measures to improve accessibility. They will soon be joined on their boards by disability activists. I will be watching closely these developments to see if they are delivering for people with disabilities, as I trust you will be too. I look forward to further engagement with the Committee on this important issue in the months and years ahead.
