Discusses stroke which saw him spend one year in hospital
In a rare public appearance, former Taoiseach Brian Cowen made a speech at yesterday's Fleadh Cheoil.
In 2019, Cowen suffered a stroke which saw him spend 12 months in hospital and confined to a wheelchair.
However the former Fianna Fáil leader is now walking with the aid of a crutch.
In an interview with The Irish Independent the 62 year-old said he was unconscious for two weeks, following the stroke.
Mr. Cowen spoke to crowds in Mullingar after receiving an award from Comhltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.
