Oz police may travel to interview Keohane

AUSTRALIAN detectives may travel to Ireland to interview a young Irish man who has woken from a seven-month coma after a brutal assault.

David Keohane, 29, from Ballyvolane, Cork, stunned his family and doctors at Cork University Hospital when he opened his eyes last month.

Detectives attached to Strike Force Tuesday — a special unit set up by Sydney police to investigate the attack — said yesterday that they are being kept up to date on his condition.
