Grateful parents say thanks for everything

WE the parents of Emma and Clodagh Barrett would like to thank all those who helped us throughout last year after Emma contracted meningitis and her baby sister Clodagh was born with complications that led to a longer stay in hospital than we had bargained for.

Firstly, thanks to our GP whose quick action saved us precious time in relation to Emma. Thanks also to the doctors and nurses at Cork University Hospital, St Finbarrs’s Hospital, Cork, and Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, especially the cochlea implant team at Beaumont led by Dr Laura Viania whose expertise we have reason greatly to appreciate.

We wish also to thank Dairygold Food Ingredients whose understanding was much appreciated with regard to time off and flexible working arrangements.
