Over the past week I have had the opportunity to visit some of Ireland’s most famous attractions including the Dublin Castle, Jameson Distillery,and the Guinness Factory.  The Dublin Castle was absolutely beautiful. They have preserved what they can of the building and the inside has lavish wall paintings, tables, and staircases. Unfortunately if you were handicapped it would be nearly impossible to experience all of this.  There are stairs everywhere and no ramps or elevators. I understand that Ireland is trying to preserve as much of the old as possible but that doesn’t mean ramps cannot be installed or electric wheelchair lifts on the old stair cases, minor changes like these would preserve the history and allow more to experience it.  The Jameson Distillery was recently renovated an reopened this past March.  To start the tour we had to go up a flight of stairs and I couldn’t see an elevator ,but there may have been one hidden in a corner that I missed. Other than that the distillery as a whole had wide spaces for wheelchair movers to freely move about in and the tour itself was very engaging and not too long, so someone who may have trouble paying attention for long periods of time or cannot stand/walk for too long would most likely feel comfortable on this tour.  The Guinness Factory was the most accessible attraction that I went to.  There were elevators/escalators that went to every floor, the halls were very wide, there was a lot of engaging technology and the whole tour is done at your own pace.  I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with a physical or intellectual disability.
