For less than the price of 2 coffees a day per person with EB, the Government can help the approx. 300 people in Ireland living with EB in #Budget2024. @DonnellyStephen will you meet with @debraireland? A small act that can have a big impact on everyone with butterfly skin.

[Debra - The Butterfly Skin Charity @debraireland]

People with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) shouldn't have to fight for basic care.

For the second year in a row, we're asking Government for €810,000 in #Budget2024 - just 0.003% of the €23 billion health budget - less than the cost of 2 coffees a day per person with EB.

Join us in asking the Minister for Health, @DonnellyStephen, to meet us.
