GALWAY BUILDINGS LIGHT UP FOR AUTISM AWARENESS
GALWAY city buildings including The Quadrangle at NUI and Galway’s Cathedral will light up in blue to mark World Autism Awareness Day on this Tuesday April 2nd.
Last year on the same day lights were also turned blue at the iconic NUIG building as part of the Autism Speaks campaign ‘Light it Up Blue’ which works with a range of partners to light up major global landmarks in order to draw attention to the issue of autism.
The Galway University will again light up its iconic Clock Tower to mark the world awareness day along with other buildings throughout the country.
The Irish Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Research (ICAN) at NUI Galway was officially opened by President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins in 2012.
Through scientific research, education and services to the community, ICAN is dedicated to ensuring improvements for individuals with autism and their families.
