Daire McDonnell has atresia of the bowel.
An Offaly baby has undergone a transplant in the UK in what's hoped will be his first step towards a better life.
One year-old Daire McDonnell suffers from artresia of the bowel and has spent his entire life in hospital.
An online campaign has raised over €50,000 to help the family cover medical costs.
In a Facebook post, Daire's parents say he's doing really well and they're forever grateful to the donor for giving Daire a second chance.
