A short video we made to capture how the town of Maynooth celebrated & supported International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2019. We feel seen; now to heard! 💜 #PurpleLightsMaynooth #PurpleLightsKildare #PurpleLights19 #IDPwD @MaynoothUni @StPatsMaynooth @KildareCoCo

We'll post weekly on different paving & what they mean. At uncontrolled crossings (no signal lights of any sort) the blister surface should be installed across the width of the dropped kerb. Red should NOT be used at uncontrolled crossings @Vision_Irl @sastireland @vviireland

At controlled crossings only, the blister surface is also used to provide stems that lead vision impaired people to the crossing point The stem (arm of the L shape) should lead to a push button or pole

These are Jack’s chairs. The 3rd one on the right is from the hospital. Getting equipment for our loved ones is the bane of our lives as carers. It can take 18 months easily to get a piece of equipment fitted, approved for funding & delivered. #CarersWeek2026 #BWD #BeforeWeDie

In this powerful article wheelchair user Tracy Martin delivers a stark reality check on accessibility in Ireland today. Despite the country's rapid modernization, the physical infrastructure for over 1.1 million people living with a disability or long-term condition (22% of the population) remains severely lagging. The number of people with a disability in Ireland has risen dramatically from 643,131 in 2016 to over 1.1 million in the latest census. While Ireland champions new apps and coffee culture, everyday essentials, like footpaths, doorway lips, and basic public toilets (even in buildings constructed as recently as 2011) remain stuck between "1987 and wishful thinking." Despite the European Accessibility Act aiming for a new era of access by 2025 and beyond, real-world progress remains hard to find outside of major urban hubs. As Tracy beautifully puts it: "People with disabilities are not asking for the moon. We are asking for the ground beneath us to be level." It’s time to move past glossy launches and good intentions. Real inclusivity means building a country where everyone can navigate their own community without feeling like an afterthought. #Accessibility #DisabilityRights #Ireland #InclusionMatters #PhysicalAccessibility irishexaminer.com/opinion/co…

I’m waiting for the next train home after a looong day in town because the driver on the last train refused to put the ramp down to assist me off. Wtf @IrishRail , you need to have a serious talk with your drivers.

Wishing Jack a speedy recovery 💜

T2 upgrade… 🚾 Our T2 accessible washroom (located beside the Aer Lingus ticket desk) has been upgraded to a fully equipped Changing Places facility, including a hoist & adjustable bed.

🍀 On St. Patrick’s Day many families are out celebrating, enjoying parades & time together. But for families who need a Changing Places toilet, going out takes planning. Standard accessible toilets often aren’t enough. More Changing Places equals incLOOsion. 💚 #StPatricksDay

Kilkenny needs Changing Places toilets—NOW. 🚨 They’re not a luxury—they’re a basic need. Without them, people lose dignity, privacy, safety, independence. It’s time to make every public space accessible. #ChangingPlaces #Accessibility #IncLOOsion #Kilkenny #WeAllGottaGo
