Greetings
Congratulations to Dublin Committee Member and National Office Dietitian, Richelle Flanagan (photo above), on being awarded the WPC Robin Elliott Award for Distinguished Contribution to the Parkinson Community for 2023.
Welcome to the Dublin Branch page. We’d like to introduce you to the activities and to the Committee.
We are trying to use a mixture of zoom and in-person activities to facilitate members. Members can attend a zoom Siel Bleu class on Thursdays or attend classes in venues around Dublin. See our posts below for details of times and contacts.
If we record a zoom event we upload it to Youtube, They can be found on the PAI – Parkinson’s Association of Ireland YouTube Channel.

Activities
We try to meet monthly to review progress and plan activities for our members. We recently began a series of social meet-ups in partnership with the YPI Branch on the last Tuesday of each month in a centrally located Dublin Hotel. We aim for a quiet place where the conversation can flow easily. Members and a guest are very welcome.
