Ennis native Chlíonadh King was diagnosed with the condition when she was nine months old and has been in and out of hospital with relapses throughout her lifetime.

Today is 65 Roses Day, the largest fundraisier for those with Cystic Fibrosis in Ireland and this year’s aim is to raise €350,000 to help fund essential services.
Chlíonadh says the dismissal of her condition because she ‘looks healthy’ is one of the most damaging attitudes people can hold.
