Down Syndrome chief’s special insight

IT makes a big difference that the chief executive of Down Syndrome Ireland has a little girl with the condition because he wants the very best life can give children just like her.

Michael McCormick is the first head of the organisation who has a child with Down Syndrome and it makes all the difference because he speaks with a passion about the condition.

“I know what Megan wants. I know all the children are different but it gives me a real insight into the condition,” he said yesterday.
