Mary Fitzpatrick (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I also offer my best wishes to Deputies Seán Kyne and Daniel Ennis, both having been elected to the Dáil. I give a big shout-out to Jordan and Cian Adams, the FTD Brothers. Jordan and Cian carry the frontotemporal dementia gene. They inherited the gene from their mother, Geraldine, who sadly died at the very young age of just 52. Jordan and Cian have been running marathons in every county. They are coming to Dublin and will arrive on 28 May. The work they are doing to raise awareness of dementia is tremendous. More than 60,000 people live with dementia in Ireland and more than 180,000 people care for people with dementia. They have raised in excess of €1 million already and people can continue to support them at the FTD Brothers' GoFundMe page. Most importantly, I ask people to come out and give them a warm Dublin welcome on Thursday. I have been in contact with the Lord Mayor, Ray McAdam, who has assured me that the city council will do their best for the lads. They deserve a huge bualadh bos and I send them my best wishes. Well done.
