The Cost of Breathing exhibition on display in library
A local man living with cystic fibrosis has opened a powerful exhibition at Killarney Library, offering an insight into daily living with the condition.
Trevor O’Donoghue’s exhibition, The Cost of Breathing, invites visitors to look beyond the diagnosis and gain a deeper understanding of the lived experience, one defined by strength, resilience and hope.
The exhibition is currently on display until February 20 before travelling to other locations across Ireland in the coming months, bringing this important story to wider audiences.
Mayor of Killarney Cllr Martin Grady described it as “both an honour and a deeply personal privilege” to attend the exhibition by his neighbour and close friend.
Cllr Grady said anyone who knows Trevor knows his unwavering positivity and determination.
He commended Trevor for his bravery, creativity and his commitment to raising awareness.
Through his work, Trevor hopes to create space for people to acknowledge their emotions more openly.
Trevor said: “Emotions are a normal part of being human, yet we don’t speak about them openly enough. You never truly know what someone is carrying on the inside. Living with cystic fibrosis means experiencing those realities regularly.”
