An Irishman remains in intensive care in France after his wife died of complications of botulism contracted during the rugby World Cup in Bordeaux.

The couple, who married last May, had travelled to Bordeaux for the Irish game against Romania where they ate in the Tchin Tchin wine bar which has been linked to a deadly outbreak of botulism.
