We would like to extend our sincere congratulations to Damian Boylan, friend, advocate and member of the Irish Haemochromatosis Association, who has just been elected as the new Lord Mayor of Cork!

Damian has been an amazing public representative for several years and has made it his mission to raise awareness of haemochromatosis, having been diagnosed himself 23 years ago. He recently did an interview with the Evening Echo, Cork. You can read his story and his personal journey through haemochromatosis below. Sincere thanks to Damian for being such a wonderful friend and supporter of the work of the Irish Haemochromatosis Association.
