本文通过对爱尔兰提供无障碍公共厕所的分析，探讨了西方社会残疾人进入公共空间的权利。围绕社会正义和公民身份的主题提供了一个批判性的分析，调查是基于对当今规划立法的审查，与35名残疾人进行了访谈-19在爱尔兰共和国和16在北方尔兰-和一个特定的城镇，新桥，县基尔代尔，爱尔兰的案例研究。这些数据表明，在爱尔兰和英国，规划立法薄弱，往往得不到执行。可移动的公共厕所少之又少;现有的公共厕所往往设计不良;这种缺乏设施的情况严重限制了残疾人的日常空间行为。这种缺乏规定，有人认为，是一个更广泛的一套健全的权力几何表达，并表示，残疾人没有，到目前为止，有相同的公民权利，作为非残疾人。
This paper examines the rights of disabled people to access public spaces in Western societies through an analysis of the provision of accessible public toilets in Ireland. Providing a critical analysis around the themes of social justice and citizenship, the investigation is based on an examination of present-day planning legislation, interviews conducted with 35 disabled people-19 in the Republic of Ireland and 16 in Northern Ireland—and a case study of one particular town, Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. These data reveal that in Ireland and the UK, planning legislation is weak and often not enforced. Accessible public toilets are few and far between; those that do exist are often poorly designed; and, this lack of provision severely delimits the daily spatial behaviour of disabled people. This lack of provision, it is argued, is expressive of a wider set of ableist power geometries and signifies that disabled people do not, as yet, have the same civil rights as non-disabled people.
