Irish American boy makes wish and sees dream come true

A DREAM came true for an inspiring five-year-old Irish American boy when he met his family and friends in Killarney yesterday.

Killian Buckley was born 16 weeks premature, is on oxygen 24 hours a day and was only given clearance to fly earlier this year as air pockets in his lung had prevented him from flying.

However, along with his six-year-old sister Danielle and parents Pat Buckley and Anne Myers, who hail from the Aghadoe area of Killarney, he flew into Shannon on Saturday.
