Disabled boy’s screen debut ‘an example to others’

A TEENAGER with muscular dystrophy who makes his screen debut tomorrow has been hailed as an example to others with a disability.

Joseph Barry, 13, from Conna in Co Cork, stars in The House, a new TV drama which will be premiered on the Dublin City Community Channel and which will run for six weeks.

“I’ve acted before in school plays and I’ve performed in Scór but this is my first time on TV,” Joseph said yesterday.
