SOME OF IRISH sport’s biggest names are “releasing their butterflies” to raise awareness and funds for a rare skin condition.
RTÉ panellists Eamon Dunphy, John Giles and Liam Brady, along with UFC star Conor McGregor and Irish rugby international Jonny Sexton are supporting DEBRA Ireland’s EB Awareness Day this Friday, 24 October.
DEBRA are asking the public to pick up a temporary butterfly tattoo from a branch of Insomnia, take a picture to share across social media, and donate €4 by text.

Around 300 people in Ireland suffer from the painful EB (epidermolysis bullosa), which causes skin to tear and blister at the slightest touch.
DEBRA’s campaign is inspired by the idea that people with the condition have skin as fragile as a butterfly’s wing.
