Victory over pain and suffering

"A pair of hands last a year a pair of legs two years."

As brutal and as stark as that.

The former Director General of the GAA, Liam Mulvihill and his daughter Daraine were guests on the Mriam O'Callaghan, RTE Radio programme today.

Daraine is a victim of meningitis and has lost her limbs.

Listening to their story, the tragedy, the pain, the battle, the victory, was shocking, remarkable, incredible.
