The Irish ME/CFS Association, through our various activities and awareness campaigns, strives to improve the situation for people with ME/CFS and to give them information to empower themselves. The group has been run by volunteers for over two decades.

Before the Covid pandemic, between 10,000 and 20,000 people in Ireland were believed to suffer from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), now sometimes diagnosed under the name Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). It is thought that the figures have now grown dramatically. Many unfortunately have not been diagnosed.
