"TRANSPORT FOR ALL"
A service for people with disabilities
****************

Good news for people with disabilities comes from the Disabled People of Clare who now have three wheelchair accessible buses on the road.  If you need to keep a hospital appointment say in Limerick, Galway or even Dublin, you now have a service to bring you to that appointment.  If you want to go shopping or to the pictures in Ennis - now you can.  All the DPOC need is some notice - say two or three days in order to plan for the journey.  The charge for DPOC members is 20p per mile and 30p per mile for non-members.

The service operates six days a week and the person to contact is:
Pat Carey at 065/6843979 or 6843488.

The service is funded by the Mid Western Health Board, FÁS,  and People in Need.
