A Kerry County Councillor is accusing the Government of once again forgetting about people with disabilities.
Marie Moloney claims the Government and the DRS trading gave no consideration to people with disabilities when designing the machines for the Re-Turn scheme.
Cllr. Moloney says the slot for inserting the bottles and cans is too high and out of reach of wheelchair users.

She adds that the lack of braille markings on the machines means people with impaired vision also have difficulties operating them.
Cllr. Moloney says many people with disabilities live independent lives and should not be forced to ask for help at these machines.
