An East Clare man is pleading with the HSE to urgently make funding available for an operation that could drastically improve his quality of life.

47-year-old Ignatius O'Riordan from Killaloe, but living in Kilkishen, suffers with constant back pain following an accident 14 years ago.

The father-of-three was fitted with what's called a spinal cord stimulator in 2007, which gives him some relief, but the battery within the internally-fitted device ran out a year ago, and another operation is required to fix it.

Ignatious says he's now finding it extremely difficult to cope.
