WHEN Maeve Duffy began experiencing a “persistent” earache, she never imagined it could be a rare and aggressive tumour that would leave her in “unimaginable pain”.
The “beautiful” young Co Wexford woman felt fit as a fiddle before the first symptom, which the family thought was a run of the mill earache, but now needs a life-saving surgery.

CollectMaeve and her loving family are doing everything they can to ensure the life-saving surgery takes place[/caption]
Maeve, who is now 22-years-old, was diagnosed with facial nerve schwannoma when she was just 17.
The rare benign tumour grows on the nerve that controls facial movement and sensation and can result in facial paralysis, facial spasms, dizziness, balance problems and hearing loss.
And after exhausting every treatment available in Ireland – including radiation and years of delays and consultations – her doctors have told her that the tumour is inoperable here.
But there is hope.
Specialists in Germany, renowned for treating complex cases like Maeve’s, can help to give the kind and funny young girl a “real chance at recovery” – but the cost of the surgery is over €107,000.
Maeve’s desperate mum Siobhan is doing everything she can to raise the funds needed for the operation to ensure her little girl can return to her life.
Speaking to The Irish Sun, Siobhan told how the Covid-19 lockdown forced a surgery that could have removed Maeve’s tumour to be cancelled.
She said: “It started with an earache which we thought was just an earache. Then they said it was what they thought was a polyp.
“They tried to remove it, then went for surgery and when they did surgery they discovered it was a tumour and we were sent from Waterford to Dublin to Beaumont and she had all her scans and was scheduled for surgery in Beaumont.
“Unfortunately lockdown happened the day before her surgery and it was cancelled.
“So actually 14 months later we got back to Beaumont and they redid all the scans and they decided it was inoperable at that stage.”
Maeve was just 17-years-old when this took place and was worrying about her schoolwork and the impact this may have on her dreams to study biomedical science.
Siobhan explained: “She was doing her Leaving Certificate, she knuckled down with her study and tried to put it to the back of her mind. She wanted to go to college.
SYMPTOMS WORSENING
“We were worried about it but there was a lot happening at the time and she really did just want to get it sorted and get her Leaving Cert done and move to college.
“Maeve is obviously very bright and she wants to do biomedical science but this has all put her studies on hold.
“She’s not been able to study or go to college or actually do anything because of the pain and because of the side effects of the drugs.
“The drugs are almost as bad as the growth.”
In 2022, as Maeve’s symptoms started to worsen, the brave young woman underwent five rounds of aggressive radiation therapy, the maximum safe dose.
The goal of this was to stop the tumour’s growth and relieve her symptoms.
However, heartbroken mum Siobhan told us how, after the radiation, Maeve admitted: “Mam, I just can’t stick the pain, it’s horrendous”.
The side effects of Maeve’s radiation were severe and the tumour did not change as a result of the intense treatment.
Instead, she developed necrosis, triggering constant, excruciating pain.
She’s 22 and she wants to socialise and go to college but can’t because of her constant pain, nauseousness and dizziness. It’s just not possible for her.”
Siobhan, Maeve's aunt
Maeve was placed on high-dose steroids and Pregabalin – the side effects of which are immense.
And Siobhan described the drugs as “debilitating”, telling how her daughter has been battling the fierce side effects of the medication for two years now.
She explained: The side effects are not good, her quality of life has been reduced to a minimum.
“Maeve will never get off those tablets or drugs as long as that tumour is there.
“Our only hope to get her back is to get the tumour removed and that is not going to be done in Ireland – there is no one to do it.”
Siobhan told how the Duffy family was “so lucky” to get into contact with specialists at the International Neuroscience Institute in Hanover, Germany, renowned for treating complex cases like Maeve.
The family met the team and within weeks it was confirmed that surgery to remove Maeve’s tumour could be performed.
Siobhan’s mum said the team of medical experts have no fear of facial paralysis or any side effects of the operation and believe that, within a few months of the surgery, Maeve can be taken off all the medication she is currently taking.
The surgery can be completed as soon as July 8th – but the family has been forced to put the operation on hold until they raise enough to cover the staggering €107,000 price.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
MAEVE'S family has set up a GoFundMe page to raise enough money to cover her surgery in Hanover, Germany.
At the time of writing, over €50,000 has been raised to support the family – but they need the full amount in order to go through with the operation.
Writing on the page, Maeve’s family and friends said: “Their surgical team has the expertise to give Maeve a real chance at recovery. But the cost of this surgery is over €107,000, and time is critical.
“We’re doing everything we can to raise the funds to get Maeve to Germany for this life-changing surgery.
“If you’re able to donate—no matter how big or small—it would mean the world to Maeve and all of us who love her.
“And if you can’t donate right now, sharing this page with your friends, family, or on social media would be a huge help.”
Siobhan said Maeve is “really looking forward” to getting the surgery over and done with so she can return home and follow her dream.
The young woman has a deferred place in a biomedical course in Maynooth University.
Siobhan said: She’s very eager to get back to college and study, and she’s also got job offers that she can’t even think about at the moment.
“It’s just to get the surgery over to get her life back so she can plan her future.”
Siobhan said the family is remaining strong for Maeve, adding: “We need to carry her.”
FAMILY’S PAIN
Siobhan’s sister Margaret told how the situation is “very hard” on the family, including Maeve’s two younger brothers.
She said: “It’s hard on them to see her suffering and not being able to go to college, not being able to do the things she wants to do.
“She’s 22 and she wants to socialise and go to college but can’t because of her constant pain, nauseousness and dizziness. It’s just not possible for her.”
Speaking about Maeve, Siobhan described her as a “beautiful person”.
She told The Irish Sun: “She’s a really sweet kid. She’s beautiful, a beautiful person, so kind.
“I would say a little on the old fashioned side as in she’s not your average trendy 22-year-old.
“She’s never been that person, she’s always very simple. She’s just, you know, she’s really sweet.”
And speaking about the whopping €50,000 that has already been raised for Maeve since the GoFundMe was launched just over a week ago, Siobhan said the support from people has been “unbelievable”.
She said: “It’s just been unbelievable. People have just come out of the woodwork. It’s amazing.”

AlamyHaim took to the Park Stage at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival[/caption]
AlamyThe U.S. based rock band shocked fans with a surprise set on Worthy Farm[/caption]
They had been hinting at a secret gig in the last few weeksGetty
Last night, one of the main Glastonbury BBC channels stopped working on TV as viewers on iPlayer were forced to switch to individual stage feeds.
Now it seems that Haim’s surprise set on The Park stage faced more sound issues.
The trio – made up of sisters Este, Danielle and Alana – made a highly anticipated return to Somerset on Saturday night.
After performing on the Pyramid Stage in 2022, they returned to their stomping ground to perform to an eager crowd.
However, during their live set, fans were heard to have shouted ‘louder, louder’.
The Mail Online has reported that other music nearby was drowning out the performance of Los Angeles-based siblings
Haim had previously dropped several hints to fans that they would be performing at Worthy Farm in the weeks running up to Glastonbury.
But despite the sound issues, the American rock band kept going with their performance.
Their show was very well received by fans who took to social media in droves to praise the band, and declare that they should have been a headline act.
Writing on X – formerly known as Twitter -one fan gushed: “Haim were and are exceptional.”
A second agreed: “HAIM’s (not so) secret set at #Glastonbury was outstanding. Catch it on iPlayer if you missed it, it’s so worth it.“
“The irony that the best TBAs Lewis Capaldi, Pulp & Haim all brilliant and could easily have headlined,” noted a third user.
While someone else wrote: “Haim back where they belong, Glasto.”
And a fifth added: “Only a matter of time before HAIM headline Glastonbury. Should have been this year. Such a fun band.”
Glastonbury 2025 - confirmed acts so far
TICKETS to the 2025 festival sold out in just minutes before some of the acts were even confirmed. Here is who has been confirmed so far.
Confirmed headliners:
The 1975 will take to the Pyramid Stage on Friday.
Neil Young will headline the festival for the second time after his last set in 2009 on Saturday after RAYE makes her return.
Charli xcx will headline the Other Stage on Saturday night.
On Sunday, Olivia Rodrigo is due to belt out her hits for her first appearance while Rod Stewart will perform in the legends slot.
More acts to appear on the Other Stage include Loyle Carner and The Prodigy.
Doechii will make her Glastonbury debut on the West Holts Stage on Saturday night.
Other names confirmed include Noah Kahan, Alanis Morissette, Gracie Abrams, Busta Rhymes, Lola Young, Brandi Carlile, Myles Smith, En Vogue, Amaarae, Cymande, Shaboozey, Osees and Gary Numan.
Although the band took to a smaller stage than their headline set in 2022, the band admitted that they were delighted to go somewhat back to their roots.
In a conversation with radio star Jo Whiley, Alana admitted: “We love The Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite.
“[Be]cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie.”
She continued: “It was like, ‘What is going on? How did we get here?’ And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm.
“And it’s the most insane feeling, I think, that you’ll ever have. But it was incredible, it’s the best festival in the world.”

DUA Lipa celebrated her five sold out stadium shows in style last night by sinking a pint of Guinness.
The pop superstar perfectly split the G at the first time of asking in a Dublin bar, before taking part in a raucous singalong to Don McLean’s classic, American Pie.

DUALIPA / XShe looked thrilled to have her hands on a pint of Guinness[/caption]
She wrote on social media platform X: “5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ~ ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!”
The singer’s Radical Optimism tour has seen her play two nights at Wembley, two at Liverpool‘s Anfield, and one night at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.
Split into four acts and an encore, Dua’s career-spanning set went down a storm with fans and critics alike, featuring hits Be The One, IDGAF, Houdini and Levitating.
Such is her pulling power that Charli XCX made a guest turn at one Wembley show, performing 360 and sending the crowd wild as the pair’s vocals gelled perfectly.
A-list actor Callum also partied with Dua after her landmark London shows.
The 35-year-old, who popped the question in December after a year of dating, gently squeezed her bum in snaps from the boozy after party.
Dua shared the pictures on her Instagram page with the caption: “Somehow managed to keep on dancing… adrenaline is one hell of a drug.”
She fulfilled a lifelong dream when she played to 70,000 adoring fans at Wembley last weekend, a decade after performing in the city for the first time to just 350 people.
With that in mind she marked the occasion with an exclusive after party at White City House in West London.
Behind the scenes snaps showed her beaming from ear to ear as she posed with friends in a skimpy see-through sheer black dress.

During her show, she exclaimed: “Wembley, thank you. It is something I’ve dreamt of my whole life, and all day I have been feeling so much love and gratitude to be here with you guys.
“It is just surreal. It feels like such a journey, but also like everything has happened so quickly.
“I want to thank you for believing in me and trusting me, dancing with me, singing with me — and allowing me to wake up every single morning to do what I love to do. Looking out and seeing all you guys means the absolute world to me.”
As she dazzled concertgoers in a white Valentino sheer lace catsuit, she added: “It has been ten years since our first London show and I just dreamt of a night like this.”
Dua Lipa's love life: A history
Who has Dua Lipa dated in the past?
Isaac Carew
Dua dated the British model and chef twice. The started dating in 2015 before splitting up two years later due to scheduling issues. They rekindled their romance in 2018 before splitting for good a year later.
Paul Klein

Anwar Hadid
One of her most high-profile relationships was with Anwar Hadid, brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid. Although they quarantined together during the COVID-19 Pandemic they called it quits in 2021 as Dua wanted to focus on being single
Jack Harlow
In December 2022, it was claimed that both of the music pairing were ‘hanging out’ together. Although after a few months it seemed that the relationship fizzled out.
Romain Gavras
The French director was first linked to Dua back in 2023 when they were seen in London leaving the BAFTA Awards afterparty together in February. They later walked the red carpet together at the Cannes Film Festival in May. They were later pictured together over the summer that year in July and August as they celebrated his birthday. She has since deleted mentions of him off of her Instagram.
Callum Turner
In January 2024, Callum celebrated the release of his Apple TV+ series, Masters of Air. The pair were spotted together at the afterparty of the premiere in Los Angeles. They were then spotted getting close on a number of dates. Insiders since revealed that the duo have travelled together and have met each other’s families. The pair then became more public with their relationship before rumours circulated of an engagement over the festive period. The singer appeared to confirm the news on social media, posting a photo with her huge ring in plain sight.

DAVID BECKHAM has finally shown the world his arm in a sling – after secret surgery.
The Manchester United legend finally had an operation this week – 22 years after breaking his wrist playing for England.

GettyBecks was excited to see his Inter Miami side tackle PSG[/caption]
And as he arrived for Inter Miami’s massive clash with Paris Saint-Germain in Atlanta, Becks smiled and gave a thumbs-up.
His Miami side are taking on the Champions League winners in the last 16 of the Club World Cup.
The former Three Lions skipper, 50, looked relaxed and comfortable in a sturdy blue sling matching his suit.
And the protective wear certainly looked more secure than his team’s defence in the early stages – as Joao Neves headed PSG in front after just seven minutes.
