Dublin

Greetings

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.

Latest News

Next Dublin Branch meeting will be in late May. This will be our summer meeting and will be in person with an invited speaker to discuss a topic of interest to people living with Parkinson’s. Venue and dates will be detailed on our summer newsletter in early May.
