A team of futsal players with Down syndrome have travelled to Ireland from the US this week to kick off a week-long tour with the Irish squad.

Match day is this Friday 24th May, with kick off at 9:30am, at Aras Preston Sport Centre, Gormanston Park in Meath.

⚠️ SLOW DOWN ⚠️

One of biggest issues represented to us from our Communities, is Road Safety!

Today is Slow Down Day

Already in 2024, 63 people have been killed on Irish Roads, 14 more than same time last year. We must work together & keep road users safe in our communities!

A message from Adam Harris! With two weeks to go the countdown to our Same Chance Walk for Autism is officially on. Sign up here: asiam.ie/walkforautism/

Schools tell parents they don't have the resources to meet support needs; the Department of Education, the NAPD, the IPPN and the National Parents Council say something different. Make the voice of children matter - share and tag your public representatives.
