'I don’t want to bury another child' - Mum’s plea on Orkambi controversy

A mother has made an emotional plea outside Leinster House for her teenage son to be given a groundbreaking drug to treat cystic fibrosis.

“I do not want to bury another child,” said Phil Dunphy, from Rathangan, Co Kildare.

Ms Dunphy’s daughter, Sarah, a law graduate, was just 23 when she died in March 2014. She was considered a suitable candidate for Orkambi but did not get it.
