PwDI is delighted to co-ordinate the EYPD Bus visit to Ireland from July 2 to July 9. This is a great opportunity to promote disability awareness around the country.
The Bus started its Euro-wide journey in Greece in January and, by December, will have visited the 15 EU member States.
PwDI feels that it is important that this visit be used to highlight the day-to-day problems of disabled people as well as their struggle with inequality. But, PwDI also wishes to celebrate all the gifts and achievements of people with disabilities.
The following are the dates and venues for the Tour.
July 2nd
Earl Street, Dundalk, Co Louth

Disability organisations throughout the country are working with our network co-ordinators and there will be a full range of information on the European Year of People with Disabilities available on the bus.
There will also be a number of fun activities organised for children and families. These will include face painting, street entertainers, balloons, music and dance, art exhibitions, painting competitions, awards ceremonies etc.
Watch your local newspaper over the next few months or tune into your local radio for up-dated information on the progress of the bus and any events connected with it.
So, come and join in the celebrations when the bus is in your town.
