Heroine Meghan, nine, saved her father’s life
Meghan Cleary, nine, was among a number of youngsters who were honoured yesterday for bravery as part of National Children's Day. Meghan was at home with her father in Waterford when she heard a loud thud from the bathroom. Her dad had suffered a massive brain haemorrhage and collapsed behind the locked door.
She quickly went outside and climbed onto the windowsill where she saw her father slumped over and getting sick. Meghan rushed back to the kitchen and climbed on top of the work top, remembering where her mother's emergency numbers were kept.
