Buying a wheelchair in dublin

NeVeR · 2015-04-16 09:43:45

Hi, I need to buy a wheelchair for this weekend.. it will be needed for 4-5 months so renting would cost more. Just the normal self propelled ones. Are there places I can walk in / view and then buy ? thanks.

Fannins have been providing such things for years

Also, the HSE can help with costs if not give it to you for free, give your local Citizens Information office a ring.
