Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind’s Ambassador Roy Keane has helped launch the charity’s annual fundraising campaign Guide Dog Day which takes place on Friday 26 May, followed by their nationwide dog walks on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 May.

Tim O’Mahony, Chief Executive Officer of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind said;

“Guide Dog Day in 2022 enabled us to successfully match 55 Guide Dog and Assistance Dog partnerships and place 9 Community Dogs in schools and facilities around the country.

“With the training of one Guide Dog costing approximately €53,000 we need immense support on Guide Dog Day this year to achieve our target of changing the lives of 85 families through the provision of our services.”
