Couple 'unable to leave Turkey' until £15k medical bill is paid

A couple say they are unable to leave Turkey until they cough up £15k for an intensive care medical bill. Saul Daly was rushed to hospital while holidaying with his partner Kathleen McLean in the Turkish resort of Side.

Medics discovered he had a bleed in his lungs and he underwent emergency treatment. On his return to Ireland, Saul will need further care but the couple say they cannot fly back until the full cost of his treatment is met.

Speaking to Belfast Live, Kathleen explained they took out insurance prior to going on holiday. But she said the insurance company is refusing to pay all of the bill, meaning they need to raise £15,000.
