Louth man loses flight fare after Bus Eireann to airport couldn't take wheelchair

A wheelchair user was left out of pocket after he had to cancel flights to the UK as he couldn’t board a Bus Eireann vehicle.

The transport company claimed that despite the bus John Morgan wanted to use to go to the airport being wheelchair accessible, they did not have the infrastructure in place to allow him to board.
