CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIRTH OF YOUR BABY AND A WARM WELCOME TO CYSTIC FIBROSIS IRELAND (CFI).

A diagnosis of CF can be unexpected, emotional and overwhelming, and I am sure that you will have many questions about life with Cystic Fibrosis.

CFI have been helping families for over 60 years, providing a wealth of services, from grants to support groups. On this page you can select information which we hope you find helpful.

And, when the time is right for you, we are here for you, for whatever you need - every step of the way and we look forward to meeting you and your little one.

Best wishes from
Bernie Priestley, CF Mum, Chairperson and Volunteer, & all the team at CFI
