Clodagh Culligan, member founder of Oran’s Foundation

Posted on by

Oran's Foundation

The Oran Foundation was established in 2015 with the aim of fundraising for Oran and children with multiple and complex disabilities.  Oran was born in 2011 with multiple disabilities, complex medical needs and an uncertain future.  During difficulties and setbacks his will and spirit shine through.  He has exceeded expectations and has a smile and laugh that uplifts all those around him.  Oran has limitations but can continue to thrive and enjoy life with a little help from you.

The primary aim of the charity is to raise funds to purchase a modified vehicle which will be adapted to enable Oran to be transported to his school and his many hospital appointments.  We also want to assist the many organisations and charities who support Oran such as Suzanne House, Laura Lynn, Jack and Jill and Child Vision.

Marissa Lucchesi spoke to Clodagh Culligan about their first 5 mile road run fundraiser  in Stabannon on the 7th of June.

Liquitabs are the most common cause for enquiry at the National Poison Information Centre.

National Poison Information Centre

Liquitabs are sachets of concentrated detergent liquid used for washing clothes and dissolve in water so they are dangerous for children who are attracted by the combination bright colours and the smell. Patricia Casey, Manager of the National Poison Information Centre, Beaumont Hospital spoke to Caoimhe O’Malley about the dangers of liquid capsules and tablets which are usually picked up by curious one and two year olds.

Recently, packaging has been changed so that you cannot see the capsules anymore. The press under the sink is where most people store their detergents but with small children it would be wise to move them to a high press.

For advice call 01 809 2166 anytime from 8am to 10pm each day.
