We are mobilising.

The Disability Federation of Ireland, Irish Wheelchair Association, and Access for all Ireland have announced a major national protest on Saturday, 28 February.

The government has refused our call for an Emergency Winter Payment. By removing "one-off" supports before a permanent solution is in place, they have left thousands of disabled households up to €1,400 worse off this year.

We are asking our colleagues, supporters, and the public to stand with us. Poverty is not a policy choice we can accept.

Join us: 📍 Garden of Remembrance, Dublin 🕐 1:00 PM 📅 28 Feb

This beautiful reading corner is a wonderful result of the MS Readathon 📚

With support from IKEA, one of our sponsors, it has been transformed into a cosy space where students in Ms Annett’s 2nd Class in Our Lady of the Wayside NS can relax, read, and enjoy books together.

Through their reading and fundraising, this incredible class raised €4,446.74 — helping their school reach a fantastic total of €5,107.98!

We can’t wait to see even more young readers getting involved in 2026.

If you are postmenopausal and have MS, you are invited to complete a short anonymous survey (approx. 20–30 minutes). Findings will help improve understanding and future care.
