Great victories come from small changes! Thanks to our #AccessNoJoke campaign & the video by our member Noel Cawley, the post box issue has been resolved in Belmullet & is now reachable for everyone. A big shout out to the Cuffe Family Post office for ensuring access for all.

We are so proud of our Belmullet members & our Access Manager Rosaleen Lally for never giving up the fight. Their sheer joy only strengthens our resolve to have all blue flag beaches accessible Wheelchair-friendly beach mats bring joy in Mayo rte.ie/news/ireland/2… via RTÉ

Access For All Ireland Morning Ireland IWA Inclusion Ireland DFI Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland (SBHI) Mayo County Council A day in my wheels The Struggle Is Wheel Bernard Mulvany ILMIreland Great news.👏 But questions arise, why are these accessible mats not (literally) rolled out nationally? Existing mats seem to be largely privately funded, leading to insurance delays. Why are we relying on private donations? Why aren't County Councils investing in these mats?

Beach mat access should be a BASIC Blue Flag REQUIREMENT for suitable beaches. We recognise/applaud the win here, but why does it have to be a battle? It's insulting & patronizing. Our beaches are so exclusionary for an island nation. Clean Coasts An Taisce Tourism-Culture-Arts-Gaeltacht-Sport-Media

In Ireland, families like mine have to beg for beach access. We have to deal with lazy excuses & umambitious Co Councils who grant dogs better access to our beaches. Beach mat roll out should be the norm for an island nation. Teresa Mannion Tourism-Culture-Arts-Gaeltacht-Sport-Media

Congrats to our IWA colleagues for making Trá Oiligh blue flag beach in Mayo more accessible! Thrilled to see wheelchair users enjoying the beach in this @RTE Article. All blue flag beaches should be accessible where possible! 🏖️🌞 rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

Lorraine Regan is celebrating her new-found freedom since passing her driving test after learning how to drive through IWA. Her only regret – she didn’t do it years ago! You can read her story here ⬇️ iwa.ie/spokeout/may-2…
