EU-wide Disability Card to be introduced next year The card will provide for equal access to benefits across borders for persons with disabilities, mainly in culture, leisure, sport and transport. Irish MEP Grace O’Sullivan raised the lack of basic disability services in Ireland at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

Currently, people with disabilities do not have their disability status recognised across all EU countries, meaning travel, parking and access to facilities can be difficult.
