In this episode Maggie and Scott have a have a great catch up, discussing birthdays and family additions, they also review the recent research carried out by Dr Katy Tobin, Dr Elizabeth McCarthy and Ms Anna Marie Paanoven all from Trinity College Dublin. 

 

The report was released at the end of September, and we look at some of the statistics that caught our eye. This report is the first of its kind for Ireland - with respondents from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. 

 

It is definitely worth a read and you can download the whole report here: https://rb.gy/u4pjx

 

Also in this episode Rob and Scott speak to Independent Teachta Dála (TD) for County Clare - Violet-Anne Wynne. We discuss the awareness of FASD within the political arena around Ireland, her interest in it, and how she would like to see the future develop for those living with and caring for those with FASD.

 

Whilst “FASD – What’s da Craic?” is predominantly an Irish take on FASD, we try to make our language and experiences accessible to everyone. We have a mix of accents in there – something for all!
