'We know many people around the country who do not get the same support as I do, and it hurts' @KevinQuaid3, chair of @IrishDementiaWG. We’re calling on the Government to act now and build on the promise of the Programme for Government — to create a #DementiaInclusiveIreland.

Listen back to our Research & Policy Manager Dr @lauraoph speaking to @RTERadio1 at https://t.co/a6tI4LFLID

'It is important to note that these drugs are not cures and are only suitable for some people who are in the early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. There will be countless people for whom this drug will not be helpful. We must continue to advocate for and resource non-pharmacological interventions and supports for people with all types of dementia and their families.'

Tomorrow, we will launch our Pre Budget Submission 2024 outlining the vital investment needed to support people with dementia, their families and communities to navigate this life-changing diagnosis. We hope to see our political representatives at the launch so they can understand why #DementiaCantWait.

@peterwoolf57 @Arsenal I guess they reckon they have enough strikers already. And they need some cash to afford to strengthen in other areas.
