Parkinson’s Association takes over Dublin landmark to highlight lack of support

“We have only five Parkinson’s Disease nurse specialists in the country, not all of whom work full time."

A gathering of people affected by Parkinson’s was held today on the Ha’penny Bridge, asking the public to come together in their support for Parkinson’s patients.

This year marks the 200th anniversary since Dr James Parkinson first identified the condition and the bridge was chosen as it also recently turned 200.
