Dr Austin O'Carroll on the Tommy Tiernan Show

GP and thalidomide survivor Dr Austin O’Carroll spoke on The Tommy Tiernan Show about his experience working as a doctor in inner city Dublin and the support he believes is needed to help deprived areas.

O'Carroll, who has founded several organisations that work to help people living in deprived areas, said his eyes were opened as a novice doctor when he realised how many people were dying “because of the drug addiction that swept through the inner city” as well as the other struggles that come with poverty.
