A Cork woman has described her paramedic brother as her hero after he helped save her life when she had a heart attack at a wedding.

Eithne Minihane from Rochestown suffered a cardiac arrest in her room in a hotel in Youghal last August after she felt unwell during a wedding reception. Her husband Chris rang her paramedic brother Kieran, who was attending the same wedding, after she vomited and said she had a pain in her chest.
