Temporary suspension of FASD Ireland services

Statement from FASD Ireland CLG - Friday 2nd August 2024

Friday 2nd August is a very sad day for FASD Ireland as we are forced to suspend services that support people living with FASD across Ireland. 

We hope to resume our services as soon as the allocated funding is released. 

We would like to sincerely thank all Service Users, Members of the Public, Oireachtas Members and Stakeholders for your kind ongoing support at this time. We are particularly grateful to have the unwavering commitment of Minister of State for Disability, Anne Rabbitte TD. 

Our website continues to be available for advice and signposting: www.fasdireland.ie
