Barbeque at Kearney's

A massive thank you to Brona, Helen and the extended Kearney family for hosting AFI at a barbeque in Dunlavin recently.

Fantastic food, company and views what more do you need? A great day out was had by all.

Thanks so much to all involved.

Birds of Prey.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience, the knowledge and interaction of the staff made for a very enjoyable day. Relaxing on the grounds of Russborough House with picnics proved to be a great way to finish off the day.

Christmas party 2023

Our Christmas party saw the end of AFI social events for 2023.

It was a very busy year with many events held throughout Ireland.

AFI's Christmas party was held in the West County Hotel and saw a record number of members attend.

We had talks by Kate Burke, S&L Therapist at the Ataxia Clinic, Tallaght and Dr. Mary Kearney, FARA Ireland.

A very emotional moment was the presentation of a farewell gift to our voluntary CEO Al Young, Al stepped down at our AGM in June 23 for health reasons. Damien Treanor from Errigal Construction attended our party and shared many laughs with members. A great day was had and many new friendships formed.
