Surgeons still operating on Leitrim transplant girl

Meadbh McGivern's liver transplant surgery is continuing at a hospital in London this evening.

The family of Leitrim teenager Meadbh McGivern have said they are still waiting to hear how her life-saving operation has gone.

Maedbh missed out on a transplant in July, because of delays in getting her to London, but she and her parents were rushed to Kings College Hospital in London overnight, on an Air Corps learjet.

She has been in the operating theatre since 7am this morning.
