Tuesday 10th February 2026.  The Psychiatric Nurses Association (PNA) said today that RTE’s Primetime Investigates programmes on the Ireland’s psychiatric services highlight the need for meaningful action to address the decades‑long underfunding of Ireland’s mental health services and the deeply concerning conditions faced by individuals with severe mental illness in Irish prisons.

Following a decision of the PNA Board, PNA  has now closed its X (formally Twitter)  account and will not be using the platform in the future.  The move comes in response to PNA concerns over the rise of misinformation, hate speech, and a decline in user safety  on the X platform and the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) tool Grok.

It is essential that members who are interested in attending the Congress submit their names, before the closing date of April 3rd by 12 Midday to Paula Gannon by E MAIL ONLY to pgannon@pna.ie  stating you wish to attend.
