After five-storey hotel fall, toddler Neil shows signs of recovery

A toddler who fell five floors from a hotel roof balcony last weekend, is believed to be showing “positive” signs of recovery.

Neil Shanahan, 2, from Farranshone, Limerick City, is being treated at Temple Street Children’s Hospital, Dublin, for multiple injuries after falling off a balcony on the sixth floor of the Strand Hotel last Saturday.

He had ventured into a lift in the hotel which took him to the sixth floor where he made his way to a balcony and fell five storeys, landing on patio furniture on the first floor of the hotel.
