She has been reliant on a wheelchair or crutches her entire life.
A midlands girl has been left in limbo awaiting life-changing procedures as the only surgeon available in Ireland is currently on leave.
18-year-old Tyra Briggs, from Tullamore, was born with congenital hip dysplaxia and has relied on a wheelchair or crutches her entire life.
Paediatric orthopaedic surgeon Conor Green has planned a '3 step procedure' over the course of a number of months that was supposed to happen last year.
However, Dr Green is currently being investigated over the paediatric spinal surgery controversy.
Tyra's mother, Angela, says she still believes Dr. Green is the best person for the job:
