#MakeWayDay: 'I'm taking my life in my hands going out onto the road when I should be able to use the path'

A wheelchair user has said he sometimes has to put his life in his hands by going out on the road - because of obstacles on the footpath such as sandwich boards, bins, and parked cars.

Campaigners today took to the streets of cities and towns across Ireland armed with stickers to highlight such impediments as part of Make Way Day, an initiative by the Disability Federation of Ireland.
