Looking forward to seeing you guys at the official opening. Great stakeholder engagement from all of the local access groups who worked with the Parks dept to make this play park an example of best practice. .@KildareCCC @kildarelibrary @AccessKildare @ClaireKineavy @PPN_Kildare

We're very excited to see work underway on the new, inclusive playground for Leixlip.
Intel made a financial donation to the playground, which will be one of the first of its kind and designed with accessibility at its core.
In just a few short weeks it will open to the public!

We’ve officially broken ground on a new inclusive play park at the Leixlip Amenities Centre. Huge thanks to Íde Cussen and Cllr. Bernard Caldwell from Leixlip Access Group, CKAN.ie and KCC Parks Department for making this happen with generous support from Intel

Wonderful news for anyone who is a wheelchair user working in a lab based environment.♿️💜🔬⚗️🧫🧪🌡️

I had such a wonderful time working w/ @ChamiahDewey to design what we believe is the first-ever wheelchair-adapted lab coat! It’ll be used in the @ucl Innovation Lab & hopefully made open-source.
I’m really enjoying finding opportunities to adapt clothing outside my own closet!

We need pavements not obstacle paths!
The public footpaths are for everyone, please ensure that our public shared spaces are accessible to all. #MakeWayDay24 @AccessKildare @PPN_Kildare @eilis31 @ReadaCronin @EvelynReilly9 @Coyne1Anne @DisabilityFed @McNiffecent @GaryJk64

#MakeWayDay is not only about selfish people blocking the footpaths. We also have lazy gardeners who don't many their gardens properly. A slap in the face from a wet branch is horrible. @DisabilityFed @MakeWayDay @bodonnell_radio @declancabra
ALT A overgrown bush pushing well over the wall and into the face of the unwary pedestrian

ALT An overgrown palm tree, nothing like a whack in the face from one of them on a winters morning, but you smell well! Been there done that!
ALT The dreaded, light weight, low branches of a tree, which can be blown into a pedestrian's face in a second. Worse when wet!
