Public services should be more accessible in Kildare

A new strategy is required

Public services should be more accessible for people living in Kildare.

Fianna Fáil councillor Donna Phelan has asked Kildare County Council to establish a working group or committee consisting of a representative from each municipal district within the county, as well as external stakeholders with relevant expertise.

Cllr Phelan says this group should be tasked with developing a new County Kildare Access Strategy.

"This would ensure all public services, facilities and community supports are accessible, autism-friendly and inclusive of people with disabilities, neurodivergent individuals, older adults and those with additional needs," she said.
