'I have carried the burden of this injustice for 14 months'
I have been battling against all the odds to receive a double lung transplant for almost four years. I had lived a very full life up until then, but unfortunately while I was out in Australia on a one-year working holiday visa I got a collapsed lung and ended up in hospital for 10 weeks. I almost died.
However, I managed to fight to get well enough to be sent home to Ireland to try to get a double lung transplant, my only chance of survival.
