The lack of a wheelchair accessible bus stop between Ennis and the Cliffs of Moher has been slammed as 'unacceptable' by the Clare Leader Forum. It comes as the disability rights group taken the decision not to participate in the annual 'Make Way Day' and has called for meaningful change to public infrastructure and service accessibility instead. The sound of Bus Eireann's 350 Ennis to Galway route pulling in to collect passengers at Ennistymon before it continues its onward journey to Lahinch, Liscannor and then the Cliffs of Moher. The bus stop is located between Pot Duggan's and Unglert's Bakery on New Road, which is just 200m away from the Church Hill Housing Estate, but despite this, not all residents can avail of the local service. Although a designated wheelchair space is available on board, the bus stop itself does not have the 3m footpath width required by NTA standards, meaning wheelchair users cannot board in Ennistymon. Local resident, Trish McNamara who works in the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 14 years ago and the nearest accessible bus stops to her are 26km away in Ennis or 79km away in Oranmore. When Trish has found herself unable or unfit to drive, she's faced taxi fares of up to €60 on a daily basis, or has otherwise depended on taking lifts in her own specially adapted vehicle. She says the lack of basic universal infrastructure is disgraceful. Among the aims of the National Transport Authority's public transport accessibility programme, is to provide at least one accessible bus stop in each direction in a town with a population greater than 5,000. The most recent Census, meanwhile, shows the population of Ennistymon is just 1,137. Usually this time of year, would be the period of 'Make Way Day', a campaign often endorsed by local authorities to highlight the effects of parking, dog fouling and obstructions on footpaths to those with reduced mobility. The Clare Leader Forum has refused to partake this year though, stating the event has become an optics exercise, while issues such as access to beaches, damaged ramps and substandard infrastructure remain. Ennistymon-based Spokesperson and Co-Founder of Equality Not Care, Anne-Marie Flanagan says policymakers must urgently incorporate universal design in all private and public spaces to level the playing field. Bus Eireann Statement Bus Éireann is committed to the provision of a fully accessible public transport system incorporating wheelchair accessible vehicles and infrastructure and in providing a safe and comfortable travel experience for all our customers. Bus Éireann continues to work with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and local authorities on the enhancement of bus station and bus stop infrastructure. To facilitate this, Bus Éireann has also introduced a Travel Information Team, who assess bus stops along our routes and around the country, and initiate accessibility and information improvements where possible. While we are doing all we can to make improvements as soon as possible, there can be limitations to this; due to the location constraints such as topography or other issues and we liaise with the NTA and local authorities on this matter. We have been in touch with our Travel Information team who will be assessing the stops highlighted, as well as surveying the whole route. The results of this audit will determine whether the stops are accessible as they are, or if they need improvements, in which case the Travel Information Team will liaise directly with the NTA and local authorities to facilitate the improvements as soon as possible.

Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario.Canada and Mexico have maintained a deep, positive and constructive diplomatic partnership over the past 80 years. We have worked to ensure North America is the world's most competitive economic region and maintain strong bilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation. To support travel and people-to-people connections between Canada and Mexico, while also preserving the integrity of our immigration system, the Government of Canada is adjusting its travel requirements for Mexican citizens.As of February 29, 2024, at 11:30 p.m. Eastern time, Mexican citizens who hold a valid US non-immigrant visa or have held a Canadian visa in the past 10 years and are travelling by air on a Mexican passport will be able to apply for an electronic travel authorization (eTA). With the high number of Mexican citizens currently holding US visas, the majority will continue to enjoy visa-free travel to Canada. Those who do not meet these conditions will need to apply for a Canadian visitor visa. This responds to an increase in asylum claims made by Mexican citizens that are refused, withdrawn or abandoned. It is an important step to preserve mobility for hundreds of thousands of Mexican citizens, while also ensuring the sound management of our immigration and asylum systems.The application process for Mexican citizens seeking a work or study permit will not change. Mexican citizens who want to work in Canada will continue to have access to a wide number of existing labour pathways, including the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the International Mobility Program.Canada supports ongoing travel, tourism and business with Mexico. We will continue to work with the Government of Mexico to strengthen our regular pathways to immigration, and with our provincial and territorial counterparts to support a system of managed migration as well as to support those in need of protection. Canada is expanding its network of visa application centres in Mexico to better serve these clients. Today's action will relieve pressure on Canada's borders, immigration system, housing and social services, while preserving mobility for Mexican citizens who want to come to Canada.The Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) is a vital example of the mutually beneficial migration that we seek to promote regionally and globally. Canada is ready to work with Mexico to build on this program, through the modernization of a new SAWP bilateral agreement, to offer Mexican workers new opportunities, through the incorporation of year-round primary agriculture and seasonal fish, seafood and primary food processing into the program. This will benefit workers and businesses on both sides of the Canada–Mexico relationship.Canada is continuously monitoring the impacts of its visa policies for both visa-exempt and visa-required countries, as well as asylum claim trends. These challenges are not limited to one country. Any adjustment to Canada's travel requirements are made to preserve the integrity and sustainability of our asylum and immigration systems.More information about these changes, including for people in transit or with upcoming flights, is available on IRCC's website.You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.Furthermore, if yo
