"It is brilliant. It has been a rollercoaster. We can only imagine what Maureen and Féile have been through. Thankfully, Féile made the 400km long journey yesterday from Crumlin Hospital yesterday by Bumbleance. A load of people turned up to welcome her home and to wish her well along the way with many having bonfires lighting on the road. It really illustrates how happy and grateful people are that Féile is home. Féile has been in hospital since July 2."
