Dementia is one of the great global challenges of our time. In Ireland, 55,000 people have dementia. Most of us will know somebody with dementia or somebody who is caring for a person with dementia. It will have touched our families. By 2026, at the end of the much-anticipated future health care strategy, the number of people with dementia in Ireland will be 80,000.
