A nine-year-old girl who died during what was expected to be a routine procedure following open heart surgery is being remembered with the creation of a special garden in Carrigaline, Co Cork.
Work has got underway on a garden in memory of Béibhinn O'Connor from Riverstick in Co Cork who passed away on September 16, 2020 after she suffered a cardiac arrest during a procedure. The youngster, who was born with a rare congenital heart defect, would have celebrated her 11th birthday this Thursday.
