Family’s pain at passing of brave Ciara

THE grandmother of a 10-year-old girl who died while awaiting a double liver transplant spoke yesterday of the family’s pain at her passing.

Ciara Kelleher, who suffered from cystic fibrosis for seven years, was awaiting a life-saving operation in England when she died.

She passed away surrounded by her family at her home at Rosendale Gardens, Corbally, on Monday morning, clutching her favourite teddy.
