St Oliver’s children launch Tuam’s new wheelchair swing

CHILDREN with special needs are enjoying a new swing in Tuam’s Palace Grounds playground that has been launched by the Cathaoirleach of Galway County Council, Cllr Eileen Mannion.

Pupils from St Oliver’s Special School braved the elements last week to test the swing, which is one of two introduced as part of the council’s commitment to promoting universal access to public spaces and amenities.
Members of the Irish Wheelchair Association’s Tuam branch were also on hand for the launch, which also saw a new accessible picnic table unveiled.
