Joanne hailed as inspiration to everyone who knows her
Joanne O’Riordan, 15, from Millstreet, Co Cork, who was born without arms or legs, was among two recipients of a special achievement award at the 16th annual West Cork Garda Youth Awards held in Kinsale’s Acton’s Hotel.
Joanne was born with a condition known as total amelia, but has overcome every challenge to become fully involved in school and the community.
