Presentation in the AV Room

We were invited to speak in the AV Room at Leinster House on Wednesday, the 17th of April. 

We heard a presentation from our CEO Shane O’Brien, who spoke about the importance of the services we offer, our current funding issues and election asks.

Neurologist Dr Timothy Counihan discussed the importance of the access of therapies and services for people with PD.

We then heard from two people with PD, Brenda O’Connell and Jerome Maume, who discussed their experience with the disease and the importance of our services.

Finally, we heard from Caroline Rushe and Marie Cahill from our Galway Branch, who spoke about the importance of their branch and supports they offer to their members.

We would like to give a special thanks to Noel Grealish TD for organising this event, and thanks to Denis Naughten TD for raising this issue in the Dail yesterday and questioning the Taoiseach on our funding application. You can watch the video clip here.
