A new pilgrim walk will be launched on Sunday, 3rd August. The walk will start promptly at 6.30am and pilgrims will walk from the Trinity Arts Centre in Castlerea to the Emlagh High Cross, which is a National Monument and historical landmark here in County Roscommon. This walk is 4.2km and there will be buses available at the site to take people back to the Arts Centre if you are unable to walk back. The site itself is regarded among archaeologists and academics as one of the most important pilgrim sites in the country and Adrianne is joined here by one of the organising committee, Jacinta Beatty to talk about the walk and the significance of it.

Urgent reforms of how the aviation industry treats disabled passengers are being called for by Irish advocacy organisations, Vision Ireland and The Wayfinding Centre. Adrianne speaks with Kevin Kelly, Head of Policy, Partnerships and External Affairs at Vision Ireland about the difficulties disabled passengers come up against, from non-accessible websites for booking or checking in to damaged wheelchairs and inadequate or untrained boarding assistants. Kevin states that “the Irish aviation experience needs urgent reform, and training is one of the easiest wins the industry can implement right now.” For information on how The Wayfinding Centre can help you or to put forward your own experiences while travelling then go to www.thewayfindingcentre.ie or contact them at [email protected]

Social Justice Ireland has stated that there is a lack of detail around how additional funding (as outlined in the Government’s National Development Plan Review and their Summer Economic Statement) will be distributed, so as to have a fair delivery of its infrastructure priorities across the whole of Ireland and especially in counties that are in most need. Adrianne is joined here by Michelle Murphy of Social Justice Ireland to discuss their ideas as to where the money might be best spent and what they hope the Government might do with regards to their NDP. www.socialjustice.ie

“Animal cruelty Is a public safety crisis” says My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue, and they are urging the Government to step up and to put in place animal welfare legislation and to ensure proper enforcement of this. MLHR are also seeking for a Garda led reform on animal cruelty cases and on these criminals who are torturing all kinds of animals because this increase in animal cruelty is very worrying in of itself, but even more so when you see that there is also a huge increase in domestic abuse cases and other attacks too. Adrianne speaks here to Martina Kenny, Founder of MLHR about this worrying trend and their four key asks that they have put before the Government.
