For the past 20 years, no new licensed drugs have been available for Alzheimer’s disease. Soon, disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) will be available in Ireland to slow its progression. However, these expensive drugs require significant changes in our healthcare system. An implementation plan, or care pathway, is needed to guide clinicians, patients, and policymakers. This plan should involve various stakeholders to ensure inclusive and effective integration of these treatments. This effort will

According to existing data, people in Northern Ireland are far more likely to experience corruption and believe that it is widespread than people in Great Britain. However, we lack data to make comparisons between Ireland and Northern Ireland. Such data is essential for informed decision-making in the context of cross-border cooperation and investment, and the ongoing conversation about unification. We will conduct an all-island representative survey to understand the extent and causes of corrup

Gynaecological cancers start in the female reproductive system and can affect women, transgender men and non-binary people assigned female at birth. The symptoms and diagnosis of gynaecological cancer and the consequences of treatment can radically change the lives of patients. An underexplored aspect of gynaecological cancer is the extent that lived experiences are compounded by social and internalised stigma. This project seeks to understand and reduce stigma for those affected by gynaecologic

Collectively, neurodivergent people are more likely to experience social exclusion and severe mental health difficulties; including anxiety, depression, and suicidality; compared to the neurotypical population. Yet little is known about how to effectively support the wide range of social and emotional needs of this group. This project seeks to understand the importance of creative and leisure engagement to support physical health and psychological wellbeing for neurodivergent people, across the

This project will investigate repair and recovery work associated with Ireland’s renewable energy infrastructures. It will map current approaches and identify circular and community economy opportunities within the sector. Undertaken in partnership between Dublin City University (DCU) and the Rediscovery Centre (RDC), the project will un

This project addresses the information deficit faced by residential licensees in Ireland’s rental sector. Licensees are individuals renting a room from an existing tenant. Many of them lack understanding of their rights, obligations, and recourse to justice, making them vulnerable to rental exploitation. Taking an active approach regarding the principle of empowerment through knowledge, the project aims to raise awareness of licensees’ rights, enhance rental policies, and improve access to justi

Censored for their work by repressive regimes, more journalists have been forced to report from exile in the last few years than ever before. Crucial to ensuring access to information in authoritarian countries, they are vulnerable to digital security threats from hostile actors because they must communicate digitally with their sources, audiences and with each other. Exiled journalists and various experts will be consulted in this project to identify and report the problems they face in protect
