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, which has been run by volunteers for over two decades, has approximately 300 members, from the estimated 10,000-19,000 people with the illness in the Rep. of Ireland. The prevalence figures are based on data from other countries which also found that many people with the illness unfortunately have not been diagnosed.
