Touch of magic as Patricia leaves hospital for final time after 1,069 days

A TOUCH of Hollywood came to a Co Limerick village at the weekend as a huge welcome home party was held for a 22-year-old woman who spent almost three years in hospital.

Patricia Ingle was left paralysed and on a ventilator after contracting a rare brain disease, she says she contracted while working at a pet store.

Patricia recently secured a multimillion euro High Court settlement which will enable her to travel to Oxford next week for rehabilitation treatment at the Oxford Centre for Enablement.
