It is with deep sadness that we heard of the passing of Ronan Smith, a leading dementia advocate and former member of our @IrishDementiaWG Steering Committee, and ASI Board of Directors.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ronan’s family, especially Miriam, Hannah, and Loughlin. From everyone at The ASI. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam
