A woman who has been cocooning since the start of the pandemic has spoken of her disappointment after urgent hip replacement surgery was delayed for a fourth time.
Katherine Murtagh (24) has an autoimmune condition called systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis and has had surgery appointments cancelled due to the Covid-19 situation.
The artist, who lives in Tullamore, Co Offaly, spent Christmas alone to protect herself from the virus but she said it was upsetting to see friends posting pictures of house parties on New Year’s Eve.
Ms Murtagh started studying art and design at Galway Technical Institute in 2019 but had to leave due to the toll it was taking on her body.
