A relative of Tom Niland has told how that the OAP may not have any recognition of people or even know his own name if he emerges from a coma.
Michael Walsh revealed his cousin Tom has made "reflex movements" in Sligo University Hospital, but medics have warned not to get their hopes up.
Bachelor Tom, 73, opened his front door at 7pm on January 18 to three masked thugs who stormed in and beat him to a pulp, repeatedly stamping on his head.
