Earlier today, a Cork mother confronted Taoiseach Micheál Martin about her daughter’s need for hip surgery and the years of negligence from the Government.
Antoinette Burke’s daughter, Katie, has cerebral palsy and requires a femoral and pelvic osteotomy surgery. An operation that Irish surgeons are unable to carry out, forcing her to have it abroad in the U.S. state of Florida…
Antoinette believes that the surgery could have been carried out here in Ireland when Katie was a child, but doctors at the time refused.
Antoinette joins Kieran to discuss.
