Five-year-old hospitalised with Covid-linked illness

Tommy O'Neill, 5, was hospitalised with Paediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (PIMS TS), which has been linked to Covid-19 in children.

The family of a very ill five-year-old boy say they want to raise awareness of a dangerous inflammatory condition linked to Covid, after their child was hospitalised last week.

Last Thursday, Tommy O'Neill from Dublin was taken to Tallaght hospital after becoming unwell.
