Martin Conway: .... My message to people who have received a recent diagnosis of sight loss is to reach out. The supports and services are there and it can be made to happen.

That woman approached me and we had a discussion. I think...

Martin Conway: ...how the structure can be put in place. The structures that will be required in Waterford and Cork will probably be choreographed in a different way from the systems and structures that might apply in Donegal and Sligo, but the fundamentals will be the same.
