🤩Last year, during #NationalEpilepsyWeek , we hosted the Epilepsy Research Matters event with @EpilepsyIreland. It was a great way to bring the community together & discuss how we can deliver engaged research. Watch it back & stay tuned for future events! youtu.be/HorU-jZN7PI

Great to be working with our colleagues in the Neurological Alliance of Ireland and @Futuneuro_ie on this important project. My Moving Brain - coming soon to a community near you! 😊

This is fantastic news!

Well done to Epilepsy Ireland

This is very welcome news. Well done to Epilepsy Ireland and all that advocated for this. I work with many people with acquired epilepsy and free public transport will have a very positive impact on their lives

Thank you to Heather Humphreys for making this happen - Epilepsy Ireland Aindrias Moynihan TD and I have been pushing for this for a long time along with others. Epilepsy is a hidden disability for many and needs wide ranging support to live best lives possible. This is great today😊😊

Congrats to Epilepsy Ireland for their tireless campaigning here, to achieve this win.

It made no sense for one hand of the state to tell people they couldn’t drive, but another hand to say they can’t have free public transport

Yeeeeesssss 🥳🥳🥳🥳

This is some of the best news I’ve heard in a long time, when I first developed epilepsy I just assumed I’d get a free travel card given that I’m literally not allowed to drive so I’m delighted to hear that’s finally changing 👏🏼

People with epilepsy will be able to use public transport for free as part of a new scheme launched by the Government
