- ALISON O’REILLY

THE parents of a seriously ill baby girl who faces a 10-month wait for a hospital appointment have hit out at the health care system.

Jeanie May Moylan was born with enlarged kidneys and a heart condition and was rushed from the maternity ward to hospital with sepsis just hours after she was born.

The eleven-month-old struggles when passing urine and parents John Moylan and Paula Penrose said she is in constant pain.

The couple say they will have to borrow money to pay for specialist private medical care after waiting 10 months to be seen. John, from Co Offaly, spoke of his anguish at seeing his daughter “in pain every day”.
