Former toiseach Brian Cowen says walking his daughter down the aisle is helping his recovery from a stroke.

Speaking to Will Faulkner on Midlands 103 FM, Mr Cowen said he hoped to "discharge his duties" at his daughter's wedding at the end of this year, as he recovers from nearly a year spent in hospital.
