European Elections 2024
TIME TO LISTEN to People with Neurological Conditions Throughout Europe
Over 300 million people throughout the EU are living with a neurological condition and according to the World Health Organisation one in three Europeans will experience a neurological condition at some point in their lifetime. Here in Ireland, over 860,000 people are living with a neurological condition, 50,000 people are diagnosed with a neurological condition in Ireland each year and that number is set to increase significantly as our population ages. On June 7th, elections will take place to elect 13 MEPS to represent Ireland in the European Parliament.
