Cubbie sensory hub opens at Swinford Library

A CUBBIE sensory hub has been officially opened at Swinford Library.

The Cubbie is a safe space which pre-empts sensory overload and allows a child or adult time to regulate.

Award-winning Swinford-based technology firm Cubbie - founded by local man David McIntyre - manufactures the Cubbie Sensory Management System, which is a safe, comfortable and adaptable environment for people with a disability or special needs.

A Cubbie was also installed in Castlebar Library in recent months.

The Cubbie was officially opened at a celebration at Swinford Library yesterday (Monday) evening.
