Recently, Community Gardaí in Dundalk were proud to take part in Make Way Day 2026, joining local disability advocate and councillor John Morgan, councillor Maeve Yore, engineers from Louth County Council, the Council's Disability Officer, and John's assistance dog Jamie to highlight the everyday challenges faced by people with disabilities when navigating our town.
The event provided an important opportunity to experience first-hand some of the obstacles that can impact accessibility, including obstructed footpaths, poorly parked vehicles, street furniture, and other barriers that can make moving around Dundalk difficult for wheelchair users, people with visual impairments, and those with mobility challenges.
Make Way Day is about raising awareness, encouraging consideration for others, and promoting a more accessible and inclusive community for everyone.
An Garda Síochána would like to thank all those who participated and shared their experiences. By working together, we can help ensure that Dundalk remains a town where everyone can move safely, independently, and with dignity.
