There are two accessible parking spaces on Green Street, directly outside the entrance to the Commission. These are free to use with a valid parking permit which is clearly displayed. For more information, see the Dublin City Council webpage.

There is paid, on-street parking available on Green Street also, however there are limited spaces available. The closest bus stop (route 83) is a 5 minute walk away on Church St.

The Commission occupies three floors of the building. The ground floor / reception and first and third floors. The first and third floors are accessible by a lift.

A fully accessible Changing Places toilet facility is available on the ground floor. The facility gives more space and appropriate equipment for people who need the help of a carer to undertake their personal hygiene safely and comfortably. For detailed information about the features and usage of the facility, see our Changing Places webpage.

There are accessible toilets on all floors
