Ms Mary Casserly:

There has been a certain amount of research in Ireland on Parkinson's disease. UCC is doing a study of services and where people are but the results have not yet been published and it is ongoing. There is much research worldwide and Michael J. Fox's foundation funds ongoing research into Parkinson's so we are always hopeful there will be a breakthrough soon. At the moment, there is not but our fingers are crossed on the research side.
