KCC says that, in conjunction with Local Access Groups from across the county, it will take part in the study, and is "encouraging others to get involved and become more aware of the access challenges for people with disabilities. "

Michael Hurley, Access Officer, Kildare County Council says "“Make Way Day focuses on individual responsibility, on looking at what we can all do to help our fellow citizens get from A to B, something we can take for granted. We in Kildare County Council are delighted to work with DFI and support Make Way Day across County Kildare.”

The President has called for everyone in the country to highlight challenges that face those with disabilities.
