As we welcome a new year, we’re taking a moment to reflect.

2025 was tough for many in the FASD community. Too many families were left waiting for answers, support, and understanding. Progress felt slow, and at times, deeply frustrating. But through it all, this community showed incredible strength.

You shared your stories. You supported one another. You kept advocating, even when it was hard.

As we step into the new year, we do so together, hopeful, determined, and ready to keep pushing for better awareness, real supports, and lifelong understanding for people with FASD.

Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for using your voice.
And thank you for being part of this community.

Here’s to a new year of connection, compassion, and continued change.

FASD Hub Ireland open Monday to Friday 10am until 4pm: 065 6703098 or www.fasdhub.ie

With 2 children in every mainstream classroom in Ireland living with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, it's shocking that Minister Hildegarde Naughton doesn't consider it important enough to feature in her diary.

FASD is Ireland's silent epidemic.

Senator Senator Aubrey McCarthy has shared an important message: FASD Ireland, the national organisation supporting families affected by Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, is facing serious challenges.

Despite meeting, often exceeding, all agreed KPIs, the organisation has been underfunded for years. Staff are working tirelessly, sometimes 12-hour days, to ensure families get the help they need. But right now, resources are stretched.

• No funding for December
• Final HSE payment delayed until January
• Overdraft approval still pending

Without urgent support, FASD Ireland may have to close its doors before year-end. This would leave vulnerable families without the services they rely on.

We’re asking the Minister for Health, the Minister of State for Disability, and the HSE to review the 2025 allocation and ensure continuity of care. Families living with FASD deserve stability and support.

Senator Sean Kyne acknowledged the concerns raised about FASD Ireland’s funding and promised to bring the issue to Minister Carroll MacNeill. He suggested a Commencement debate for further discussion and noted that resolving this month’s funding gap may be difficult at this stage. However, he committed to engaging with the Minister to find out when an announcement will be made regarding FASD Ireland and other groups supported by the Department and the HSE.

FASD Ireland has contact ALL elected representatives for action. Support us by ensuring your elected representative is aware of our communication to them, and ask them for their support.
