LISTEN: Longford woman speaks about the challenges for children with Scoliosis

A Longford woman is calling for a statutory inquiry into the paediatric care for children with Spina Bifida and Scoliosis. Members of the Dáil voted confidence in Tánaiste Simon Harris this week, despite Aontú tabling a motion of no confidence over his handling of children's spinal surgery waiting times.

Kira Carberry was diagnosed with scoliosis in 2013 at the age of 10 and following multiple surgeries, still deals with huge challenges in her life. Darragh O'Connor spoke to Kira on today's Let's Talk.
