Irish businessman Richard O’Halloran has told how he felt “totally” abandoned by the Irish Government during his detention in China.
The 46-year-old – who reunited with his wife and kids after three years in January – revealed he was in a dark place and turned to alcohol as a “coping mechanism”.
In his first interview since his return Richard said his weight plummeted from 95kg to 75kg as he struggled to eat and sleep due to the anxiety and loneliness.
