What Darragh’s family said…. We couldn’t have done it without the help and support, we would have spent our time in hospital and I really believe Darragh wouldn’t have lived as long. We Darragh did lots of things in his needed all the help but you Eilín life… you were our sounding board. (Darragh’s brothers) (Darragh’s mother)
Thank You November 2017

Challenges • Geographic Location • Rarity of condition • Uncertain prognosis • Adult services providing Paediatric Care • Education • Resource implications • Co-operation with other teams (O’Leary et al. 2006, O’Brien and Duffy 2010, Quinn and Bailey 2011)
