Letterkenny Cabs Cuts Wheelchair Transport Amid Rising Costs

BREAKING: Letterkenny Cabs has just confirmed a significant reduction in its direct wheelchair transport services, citing rising costs as the primary reason. This urgent announcement, made on February 28, 2026, raises critical concerns for individuals with reduced mobility in Donegal who rely on these essential transport services.

The company has stated that they will cease investing in their own fleet, resulting in fewer wheelchair accessible vehicles available for direct transport. In a move that could impact many clients, they plan to continue operations through a mix of direct employees and agent drivers.

Sean Gallagher, Managing Director of Letterkenny Cabs, expressed hope that selling their vehicles in Donegal will allow clients and patients with reduced mobility to still access the services they need. In his words, “We are committed to ensuring our clients receive the service they deserve.”

This decision comes at a time when accessible transport services are more vital than ever. The reduction in wheelchair transport options may leave many vulnerable individuals struggling to find alternative means of travel, especially for medical appointments and essential outings.

As the situation develops, the community is urged to remain vigilant and explore alternative transportation solutions. Local advocacy groups may step in to assist those affected by this decision.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as we monitor the impact of these changes on residents in Donegal and beyond.
