Zac Higgins has been in an induced coma in Temple Street Children’s Hospital since being knocked down while playing in Castle Meadows housing estate in Mahon last Monday. His family say doctors are beginning the process of taking him out of the medically induced coma this week. Zac’s parents, Paul and Aishling, remained by his bedside in Dublin last week, with siblings Max and Belle staying with family. Speaking at the launch, family friend and local councillor Chris O’Leary said Zac is facing a long recovery. “This has all been tough on the family but we have to be there for Paul and Aishling,” said Alan.
