A plan to ban cars from parts of the Quays in Dublin has been branded as 'intrinsically discriminatory' against disabled people .at Bachelors Walk and Aston Quay from early August.

Dublin City Council Executive Manager for Traffic Brendan O'Brien said blue badge holders have to be included in the ban. "If somebody buys an apartment on Bachelors Walk they have a right to be able to door to door access," he said. Dr Sinnott said legislation needs to be passed to allow blue badge vehicles can use any street, pedestrianised or not.Manager of O'Connell's Bar on Bachelors Walk Declan Cummins said the plan is going to create more problems for them.
