We will keep you up to date with Ireland’s Access Issues, with our Quarterly Ezine “Access Matters”. Join today to support our work. You can have annual membership for as little as €20  by Postal Cheque,  Credit Card, or  Bank Standing Order. We have Special Discounts for Walking  Group Memberships.(Minimum 10 members)


Active Membership

We depend on and are always looking for active members for reporting to us on local matters, such as closures o Public Rights of Way, usually due to unlawful developments. You can be our eyes and ears and can contribute to the County Development Plans. 
 
We require members in each county to scrutinize County Development Plans for Public Right of ways, that are or not listed in he five-year development plans. It is very important that we are notified and take action, where existing accepted right of way, which are not registered on the County pan are suddenly “Closed off”. If you think you can help in any way, please contact Robin Baily membership secretary membership@keepirelandopen.org.
 
Also we would be delighted to include in our quarterly ezine, letters from members on any relevant issues, contact editor@keepingirelandopen.orgIn addition, if any member would like to communicate a letter or article in relation to KIO\Access matters, to other members, we will forward them on a BCC basis.
