The friends and family of a Limerick man who suffered a life-changing brain injury have said they are "blown away" by the generosity of people to help fund his care.

Tom McGrath, originally from Kilfinane in Limerick, has been at home with his wife, Dympna, for five weeks now, following a lengthy stay in hospital and rehab. On October 10, 2021, he was cycling in the Dublin mountains with a friend before having a severe heart attack on the side of the road.
