"We've achieved a lot with Irish Rail, where people were putting buggies and luggage and everything into the area meant for wheelchairs.

“We've had some great campaigns and we've loved every bit of it. And it's about meeting new people. It's been worthwhile and it's all about sharing.

“That's why I've called the PPN family. I don't know all of the groups but it's been a pleasure being involved for the last seven years.”
