Féile O’Sullivan: One year on, West Cork teenager is 'upbeat and all set to return to school'

On the first anniversary of the accident in which she lost both legs, Féile's already been active in wheelchair rugby, basketball, and boccia — and is now standing with a prosthetic leg

Marking one year since a devastating farm accident in West Cork which led to her losing both her legs, an “upbeat” Féile O’Sullivan is preparing to return to school.

Her future seemed uncertain but, following months of complex care at CHI at Crumlin Hospital and the National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH), things are very different for the sports-mad 13-year-old.
