Clare Mahon is currently on a ventilator in intensive care at the Belfast City Hospital
A North Belfast family say they are desperately trying to find help to secure a lung transplant or other life saving treatment for their aunty who is being kept alive on a ventilator in hospital.
Her niece, Cearai Mahon, says that Clare was told at the Mater hospital that she could be a candidate for a lung transplant due to her condition. Cearai said: "Clare has been suffering with pulmonary fibrosis for the past 13 years and during that time she has not received any real treatment other than codeine to help with the pain.
"When she was in the Mater, Clare was told that she could be a candidate for a lung transplant due to her condition, but since being transferred we are told that is not the case, even if we go private.
