Galway Beaches Get Accessible Mats | Belfast News

Galway City is launching a groundbreaking pilot program to make two popular beaches—Silverstrand and Ballyloughane—fully accessible starting July 28th and early August, featuring specially designed mats to help wheelchair users, stroller families, and older visitors enjoy the sand and surf with ease. A collaborative effort led by Galway City Council, the Beach Access Group, Tús, and the Irish Wheelchair Association, this initiative not only enhances accessibility but also supports local employment through Tús’s day-to-day management. With a successful trial planned through August, the city is eyeing permanent expansion to boost inclusivity across Galway’s coastal areas—check the schedule on Galway City.ie and social media.
