Happy cries bounced around Rutland Square in Cork city as little Daanya Hossain turned on the Christmas lights for her neighbours at the Clúid housing association’s Christmas gathering there.
Exhausted after suffering 10 seizures that day, she then fell asleep in her pram while presents were handed out to enthusiastic children to celebrate many of their first Christmas at the square.
