Mark Cagney, Irish broadcasting legend and well-known Irish television presenter and journalist, was interviewed on Ireland AM about World Haemochromatosis Awareness Week and what it means to shine a light on Ireland’s most common genetic disorder. Mark talks about how he was diagnosed by chance and how his diagnosis saved his life.
