Irish postman paralysed and needing lifelong care after horror accident on way home from work

Over €66,000 has been raised to assist a popular Tipperary postman in his thirties who was left paralysed in July of this year after he was involved in a road traffic accident on the way home from work.

Ryan O'Dwyer suffered severe spinal injuries when the collision occurred on the main road to Clonmel on July 11. He was airlifted to Cork University Hospital (CUH) where he was put in an induced coma. He underwent two major brain operations.

He is recovering well from his brain injuries. However, Ryan is in wheelchair as he is now paralysed from the chest down.
