‘I just want to care for my Dad’

WHEN Penny Fennessy’s elderly father suffered a stroke she gave up her life in England and moved to the small town of Clogheen in Tipperary to care for him.

Although otherwise in good health, since his stroke, 63-year-old Patrick cannot drive or walk very far.

Penny and her father share his one-bedroomed cottage at the foot of the picturesque Knockmealdown Mountain.
