Expats rally to get paralysed Corkwoman home

IRISH communities in Melbourne and Sydney have rallied to help get a Corkwoman with the devastating “locked-in syndrome” home to her family.

Siobhán Collins, 36, who is originally from Newmarket, had just returned home from work at the Celtic Club in Melbourne on November 23 when she suffered a brain aneurysm.

Her partner, Dan Cronin, 37, who is from Dunmanway, found her unconscious and rushed her to St Vincent’s Hospital where she suffered a devastating second aneurysm.
