Polio & Us Relaunches
Pictured are Fran Brennan, CEO, Polio Survivors Ireland, members Anne Burns, Colette O’Reilly, Brigid Quigley O’Brien, Zaynab Salman, Joseph Flynn, Eddie Roycroft and Aoife Gallagher, COO Cappagh Hospital, helping to launch the reprint of our publication, Polio & Us at Cappagh Hospital recently.
We were delighted to finally launch our reprinted edition of Polio & Us, the personal stories of Irish polio survivors, recently in Cappagh Hospital.
Since the photos were released to media, we have had huge media interest. There are more to come which we will continue to share out on our website and on social media.
Huge thanks to our members who helped us with the launch and for their help with publicising the book in recent media interviews online, in print and on radio. We are very grateful to them for sharing their stories.

We hope the wider public will now be encouraged to buy the book and learn more about our polio history – especially when it has become a topical subject once again!
