Wildlife rescuer helps after hedgehog with broken pelvis gives birth to five hoglets 

While there are no official numbers of hedgehogs, it is estimated there are around 5,000 in Ireland.

A hedgehog with a broken pelvis was able to give birth to five hoglets safely this week, thanks to the intervention of a wildlife rescuer.

Veterinary nurse Yvonne McCann, who runs Hedgehog Rescue Dublin, is regarded as one of the country's leading hedgehog rescuers.
