Mum left paralysed after Dublin shooting says young daughter has 'bad panic attacks and nightmares'

A mum who was gunned down in front of her daughter has spoken about the attack that left with her with life-changing injuries.

Mother-of-one Sinead Connolly was left paralysed after being shot three times as her seven-year-old daughter Leah looked on in horror. The gun attack took place at their home in the Bernard Curtis House apartments in Bluebell, Dublin, on March 6, 2021.

The 34-year-old was left wheelchair bound after one of the bullets hit her in the spine. She is in St James’s Hospital while she awaits the completion of her newly adapted home. Last April, Dean McCarthy, 33, of Bluebell, was jailed for 15 years after he pleaded guilty to Ms Connolly’s attempted murder.
