A huge thank you to everyone who ran the Dublin Marathon during the bank holiday weekend! See how you can still donate to their incredible efforts in support of Epilepsy Ireland!

The team at Epilepsy Ireland were delighted to recently visit Trinity College Dublin for a tour of a new piece of technology which is being heralded as potential game-changer for neurological research in Ireland– including epilepsy research. 

An exciting new clinical trial - led by our colleagues in FutureNeuro and the Royal College of Surgeons - investigating a new device which provides continuous, remote EEG monitoring has begun in Ireland.

UNEEG EpiSight is a wireless device which is implanted just underneath the skin on the scalp – in a procedure that lasts approximately 20 minutes under anesthetic.

Michael McKillop was appointed our first ambassador at our recent National Conference - find out more!

At our recent National Conference, we were delighted to name Melissa Ryan, Rebecca Reid and their families as our volunteers of the year for 2025!

The volunteer of the year award was introduced in 2016, as a small token of appreciation of the outstanding efforts an individual or a group of individuals have undertaken in support of Epilepsy Ireland.
