The family of a Meath solider who was badly injured when his platoon were ambushed in Ukraine have started a fundraiser.
His mam, Catherine Meagher set up 'Saving Private Brian' to get the brave Ratoath man back to the country for hospital treatment. Several of his colleagues were killed instantly and others are still MIA. He has already received several surgeries with many more to go.
Thankfully, Brian is expected to make a full recovery much to the relief of his family and friends. The ex-Irish army man was determined to help in Ukraine, when the conflict started. He explained that he hoped other countries would help if Ireland faced the same situation.
