Cystic fibrosis campaigner takes on Eoin Ó Broin TD over email ‘error’

Eoin Ó Broin hadn’t read the memo: How to retrieve potentially embarrassing emails after accidentally clicking “send”.

So when the Dublin West Sinn Féin TD sent an email intended for one of his admin staff to cystic fibrosis sufferer Jillian McNulty, he must have sincerely wished that he had.

Ms McNulty, from Longford Town, has long campaigned for the State to fund Orkambi, a drug manufactured by Vertex and described as “a game changer” in treating her condition.
