McIlveen praises Causeway centre
The group (pictured below) had the opportunity to meet with officials from the Northern Ireland Tourist Board, the National Trust and Giant’s Causeway staff. Mr McIlveen was keen to find out more about access to this iconic site for his disabled and elderly constituents. The North Antrim MLA was hugely impressed to discover that the new visitor centre and surrounding areas have been catered with specific regard to those with mobility issues.
Mr MIlveen said: “At the visit this week, I was delighted to discover that the visitors’ centre has gone above and beyond any of the usual requirements for accessibility. There are now fully accessible trails, right out over the cliffs, so that everyone can make the most of the most beautiful walks and views in the world.

These places of outstanding beauty should be, and with a little creativity, can be for each and every one of us to enjoy. I look forward to seeing this kind of best practice rolled out across all visitor attractions in Northern Ireland.”
