the Department of Foreign Affairs, Dublin, on 29 March.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal simplyweb-checked\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The meeting, whose attendants included the Mayors of Greater Manchester and Liverpool City Regions, sets a precedent for ensuing collaborations between the Northwest and Ireland in meeting mutual civic, commercial, environmental, and cultural objectives, as the UK and Ireland both recover from effects of Covid-19 and Brexit.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal simplyweb-checked\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The mission was attended by several business delegations and civic leaders from both Ireland and the Northwest, who wish to strengthen trade and investment opportunities, and UK-Irish relations. The meeting will advance the respective International Strategies of Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester Combined Authorities, both of which identify Ireland as a priority strategic partner and commit to strengthening mutually beneficial trade and innovation linkages, centred on the Irish Sea.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal simplyweb-checked\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition to building further commercial ties between Ireland and the Northwest, sustainability and accessibility were also on the mind of both mayors and Irish Minister of Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney, which is where we come in.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal simplyweb-checked\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Boasting a team familiar with each of these regions, Direct Access consultants discussed opportunities for boosting accessibility across Ireland, Liverpool, and Manchester respectively, for environments that are built, natural, as well as online. Having previously delivered accessibility to iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites in Ireland, as well as several Manchester\/Liverpool-based businesses, our team will innovate new ways to create sustainable, accessible environments in Ireland and the Northwest, thanks to the backing of this mission.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal simplyweb-checked\"><span class=\"simplyweb-checked\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">Our Operations Director Steve Dering, remarked, \u201cWe have worked tirelessly to improve accessibility in areas that were key to this joint mission to Ireland, including retail, academia, tourism, and mass transit. We cannot wait to play a part in realising this meeting\u2019s potential to build on this foundation, and work harder to improve the lives of disabled people across Ireland and the Northwest regions even further\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e728e73 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e728e73\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-88c3afb\" data-id=\"88c3afb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-156f7c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"156f7c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/directaccessgp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor\/assets\/images\/placeholder.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e53612 elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"0e53612\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\" role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Post Navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/directaccessgp.com\/uk\/news\/direct-access-renews-sponsorship-of-nantwich-town-disability-football-club\/\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-left\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">Previous<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">Direct Access renews sponsorship of Nantwich Town Disability Football Club<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/directaccessgp.com\/uk\/case-studies\/expo-2020-design\/\" rel=\"next\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__next\"><span class=\"post-navigation__next--label\">Next<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__next--title\">Expo 2020 &#8211; Design Consultancy<\/span><\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-next\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-right\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Direct Access strengthens Irish links with North West mayors Direct Access consultants were honoured to be part of the meeting in the Department of Foreign Affairs, Dublin, on 29 March.
