Paralysed woman to be airlifted home to die

A TRAGIC Irish mother clinging to life in an English hospital will be airlifted home within days.

Catherine O’Leary’s heartbroken father, Pat, said only then will his family make a decision about whether or not to switch off her life-support machine.

The 31-year-old mother-of-one from Ballincollig, Co Cork, was forced to travel to England for treatment for “locked-in” syndrome after failing to secure a rehab bed here.
