Cystic Fibrosis Ireland are sorry to inform members of the death of Tony O'Toole, a former chairperson of the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland (CFAI) in the 1970's. Tony became involved in CFAI, now known as Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, following the death of his son in 1966 and was a great advocate for improved CF services in both Mayo and at a national level.

Among many achievements Tony played a key role in securing the national office in Rathmines and in the development of the original 2 paediatric CF units in Mayo General Hospital.

CFI wish to extend our deepest condolences to Tony's family, including his son Billy, who is an active member of the Board of CFI and daughter Martina Jennings, who was a key person in the development of the new CF Unit in Mayo developed in 2015.

Many thanks to Tony and his family for their contribution to CF care over many years. 

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
