Brian Hogan, 35, suffered brain damage after an unprovoked attack in Nottingham when he was assaulted by a British national. During the incident, Brian, from Ballykeeffe, hit his head on a pavement and subsequently spent three months in a coma at Queen’s Hospital in the city.
After months of rehabilitation, he relearned how to talk, but has been left blind and must use a wheelchair.
