A West Clare father has expressed his frustrations at not being granted a support for the care of his disabled daughter.
Pat Gavin from Carrigaholt has been speaking his failure to secure a Primary Medical Certificate for his daughter Isobel, who is 20 and requires round-the-clock care.

Pat’s application was turned down locally, and on appeal, and he feels it’s symptomatic of a system that he’s had to fight throughout his daughter’s life.
