A GoFundMe has been set up to support a young Leitrim boy who was diagnosed with a rare birth condition.
Oscar's mum Clare Lawlor Lynch said that during a routine scan at 18 weeks it was discovered her unborn son had Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
To give Oscar the best chance of survival, she flew to Belgium for fetal surgery.

Clare says it was a difficult time for the family which includes husband Joe and Oscar's big brother Arthur:
