My name is Matthew McGrath and I live in North Wexford. I am surrounded by beautiful beaches that I cannot access in my wheelchair. My family and friends are sea swimmers and I cannot join them on the beach because there are no accessible paths or trails.
Check out our Gallery to see photos of the 10 inaccessible beaches.
Here are the numbers that tell the story of my local beaches from Castletown to Cahore. According to the latest CSO census, over 8,000 people in Wexford are physically impaired and that’s not counting our many tourists.
