Belfast parents' tribute after death of identical twin boys

A Belfast couple whose identical twin boys died due to a condition called Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome will have the local landmarks lit up blue in December.

Karen and Gavin Taggart received the heart breaking news their unborn sons Daire and Odhran had succumbed to the condition at their 23 week scan back in 2007.

Initially their twins were diagnosed as being non-identical after Karen had asked at her 15 week scan but she says she was misdiagnosed at the time. By raising awareness of TTTS the pair hope that people will be educated on the disease and the risks associated with multiple pregnancies.
