Brian Cowen made a rare public appearance on Thursday following his recovery from a debilitating stroke over three years ago.
The former Taoiseach was in attendance at the Fleadh Cheoil when he opened up about his health ordeal. He revealed he had no recollection of the first few weeks following his stroke as he was placed in an induced coma. Mr Cowen is currently using a walking aid but hopes to regain full mobility in the future.
“I’m also doing three days a week in the pool locally because the buoyancy in the water helps. The walking is good, but if I go a distance or if I’m going to a match I bring the chair,” he told the Irish Independent.
