About the Neurological Alliance of Ireland

The Neurological Alliance of Ireland brings together nearly 40 non profit organisations to advocate for the rights of the over 860,000 people throughout Ireland living with a neurological condition. Neurological conditions affect the brain and spinal cord and now represent the leading cause of disability worldwide. Founded in 2003, the NAI advocates for the development of quality services for people living with neurological conditions. Our campaigns are rooted in the experiences of our members and the individuals and families with whom they work. We provide a united and expert voice on neurological care through advocacy, policy development and awareness raising. More information can be found at www.nai.ie.
