A YOUNG GIRL had her liver transplant cancelled because it was feared she wouldn’t make it to the UK in time for the operation.

RTE reports that the girl was to be transferred from Leitrim to London by Coast Guard helicopter from Ireland. She was due to be transported at around 10.30pm but the medical team in the UK said that her arrival would be too late for the surgery to go ahead.

The Coast Guard was not available for further comment this morning.
