My wife ...Hi Louise, I only found your blog today.<br /><br />My wife is a wheelchair-user, too. We're well-versed in Dublin's utter lack of accessbility (and we have 3 kids under the age of 2, so you can imagine our family outings!).<br /><br />We also totally get that you can't always expect friends to keep the chair in mind when making social arrangements. It's always a wonderful feeling when someone asks us if Jen, my wife, can get into a venue, but it's not expected. This is our thing to deal with, not theirs.<br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to say I'll be following your blog with interest. :-)Paul Anthony Shortthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393249001158230985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452295688149776417.post-13195191729734542922014-07-14T11:15:56.263-07:002014-07-14T11:15:56.263-07:00Which day was that on?

It might be worth contacting the show.<br /><br />If you are patient and persistent, you could make a formal complaint via the Equality Tribunal, and see where that goes.Serial Complainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367304481474207001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452295688149776417.post-75675818925758832162014-07-13T06:55:20.929-07:002014-07-13T06:55:20.929-07:00:-(
