Sinn Féin Pushes for Skyclarys Access | Cork News

from Cork News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald is urgently pushing the Irish government to fast-track access to Skyclarys, the first EU-approved drug that could slow Friedreich’s Ataxia—a rare, progressive neurological disorder devastating families. With patients protesting and one campaigner even taking legal action after court permission, time is running out for those suffering. Despite Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s prior pledge for swift action, delays continue as the drug faces bureaucratic limbo—despite being covered in other European nations. McDonald is demanding decisive leadership before it’s too late. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
