A rally for Lyme disease takes place on 26 September and will end at Leinster House. It aims to highlight problems with testing for the disease in Ireland.

Joe Donohoe from Donegal is involved in organising the protest. His daughter, Emma Doherty, was misdiagnosed for 11 years and sent bloods to Germany before she got diagnosed. She has been raising awareness of the disease in her area, which is particularly crucial for outdoor workers.
