Access

Kildare Local Authorities endeavour to provide clean, accessible public offices that ensure privacy, comply with occupational and safety standards and facilitate access for people with disabilities and special needs.  For more information on work which has been carried out to date:

Under the Disability Act, all public bodies, subject to certain considerations provided for in the Act, are required to ensure that access to services is integrated and to provide assistance to people accessing services.  Services and goods supplied to all public bodies are required to be accessible and communications and information provided by public bodies must be accessible.  The Government also launched 'A Code of Practice' on Accessible Public Services. 

At the launch the Taoiseach said: "Our objective over the next period is to move the disability agenda to a level which matches any other country in the world.  And we aim to do so in partnership with all stakeholders, thereby maximising the use of all our resources to promote the full involvement of people with disabilities in the social, economic, political and cultural life of Ireland."
