15. Notice of Motion Proposed by Councillor Leanne Peacock, seconded by Councillor Ciaran McQuillan, from Council Meeting held Tuesday 6 January 2026.

That this Council;

· Conveys it’s sincerest and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Catherine Sherry, who tragically passed away on May 12th, 2025.

· Acknowledges that Catherine tragically passed away in London, separated from her three loving sons, having been forced to travel overseas for treatment that is available on the island of Ireland.

· Commends the courageous public commentary of Fergal Sherry, Catherine’s husband, and supports the family’s campaign for all-Ireland provision of CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapy and cancer care to make sure no other family has to endure what the Sherry family went through.

· Agrees entirely with Fergal’s words, that, “when you’re going through cancer treatment, you need your family near.”

· Urgently writes to both Health Ministers, Minister Nesbitt and Minister Carroll MacNeill, to ask what plans they have for the provision of this treatment on an all-island basis and to encourage them to explore every option, including existing cross-border frameworks and the Shared Island Unit, to deliver this essential service on an all-Ireland basis.
