Dermot Morgan's sons join high-profile blood pressure campaign

Taoiseach Enda Kenny and the sons of the late actor and comedian Dermot Morgan are backing a new campaign to encourage greater awareness of the risks of high blood pressure.

The sons of the late Father Ted star, Don, Rob and Ben were ‘scrubbed up’ yesterday to launch the Irish Heart Foundation’s free blood pressure roadshow supported by medical devices’ firm Medtronic.

The roadshow is visiting 45 locations over the coming weeks offering people of all ages a simple five-minute blood pressure check.
