Adrian was very independent, says group

ADRIAN DUNNE had lived with a debilitating eyesight inherited condition since birth but was living a normal and untroubled life, according to a support group for blind people.

Despite his eyesight which seriously deteriorated five years ago, staff with the National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI) were never alerted to anything “unusual” with the 29-year-old.

Other members of the Dunne family, including Adrian’s father, also contracted the same, complex condition.
