Cystic fibrosis drugs deal expected in weeks

A father has made an emotional plea outside Leinster House for his little boy to be given a groundbreaking drug to treat cystic fibrosis.

Keith McCabe from Greystones, Co Wicklow, said the Government had effectively put a price on his son’s life.

He said it broke his heart that, as Senan’s dad, he had to again protest outside the Dáil to get him “a drug of hope”.
