Dublin Airport opens new fully accessible Changing Places toilet facility in Terminal 1
Following on from the establishment of the Changing Places Working Group by Inclusion Ireland in 2004, the Dublin airport authority (daa) has recently opened a new fully accessible Changing Places toilet facility in Terminal 1.
The facility is located on the ground floor in the arrivals area beside the information desk and is open to all members of the public and visitors to Dublin Airport. Full access is available to the toilet and there is currently no requirement for a key or a card.
The facility includes a height-adjustable adult-sized changing bench, full room coverage ceiling tracking hoist system and sufficient space is provided on both sides of the toilet for transfers.
The new Changing Places facility will benefit thousands of people with disabilities including their families and carers by enabling people to use the toilet in safety and with comfort and dignity.
It should be noted that in addition to the new facility that has been opened in Dublin Airport, there are now fully accessible Changing Places facilities in Áras an Uachtaráin, Trinity College Dublin and the Lime Tree Theatre in Limerick.
