## Resource

Silverstrand Beach is finally rolling out accessible beach mats next Tuesday, with Ballyloughane Beach following soon after—big news for wheelchair users, parents with strollers, and older folks who’ve long struggled to reach the water. These mats, stored unused for three years at Galway City Council, are now hitting the sand thanks to advocates like James Daly, whose daughter Ruby loves the beach. He calls it a major win for accessibility, and the Galway City Partnership, with Tús, will manage them daily. James is already dreaming bigger: making this a permanent feature in Galway—and eventually nationwide. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
