Charity helped bring dying girl home

A CORK couple who got the chance to spend the last few precious days with their terminally ill daughter at home played a leading role in raising €15,000 for the charity who made it possible.

Billy and Ellen Sheahan, owners of the Wallis Arms Hotel in Millstreet, Co Cork, got together with the Aubane Social Club and a number of local businesses to raise the money for the Jack and Jill Foundation.

The couple’s only child, Isabelle Maggie, was just 19 weeks old when she died in October 2007.
