Please consider contacting the local and/or national media about ME Awareness Month

We would encourage Irish people to contact local and/or national media outlets in the coming weeks.

You could mention the Dr Speight talks if you thought it was appropriate https://tinyurl.com/DrSpeightTalks .

But you don't need to. It's a good time of year to get sympathetic coverage.

One angle that could be mentioned that is topical is that research shows that many people with ongoing long Covid symptoms satisfy ME/CFS criteria.

Journalists and media outlets are looking for items to cover so can welcome approaches like this.
