At the rebranding and launch of WALK
Speaking at the launch today of WALK (formerly the Walkinstown Association), Dublin South Central TD Eric Byrne said:
"The renamed WALK is an organisation that I have had the pleasure of being involved with for many years and that I hold in utmost regard. I have witnessed its transformation from being a small volunteer run club to the development of a professional organisation. What has not changed, is the core values and beliefs of the organisation, which has always placed the person with a disability at the centre of directing their own lives.
"WALK was initially established to meet the needs of our local community. Today, the level of leadership and high quality service provision has surpassed the expectations of the community it serves.
"Local organisations such as WALK are crucial to ensuring that disability funds reach those who need them most."
