Attended the National Rowing Centre regatta 30.04.22. I informed @RowingIreland that I, a ♿️ user, was trapped in the car b/c the sites completely inaccessible. Emails were shared & I spent days drafting an email w/relevant links to improve site accessibility.

First sighting of Asian hornet confirmed for Ireland. One insect was found ‘alive but dying’ on 25th of April, 2021 in north Dublin. No indication of breeding so nothing to worry about. See the Invasive Species Alert here
