MIRACLE MAN FEAKLE’S DUN PURCELL OVERCOMES COVID-19 AT 98 PÁRAIC MCMAHON paraic@clareecho.ie

A

T 98 years young Feakle icon Dun Purcell has returned home after surviving COVID-19 and a week-long stint in hospital. “Everything has worked out,” Dun reflected when talking to The Clare Echo about his continued recovery from the deadly virus which has claimed the lives of more than 3,750 people in the Republic of Ireland. Last month he noticed that he was becoming weaker which later turned out to be as a result of the virus. His family admitted that he was “very sick” during his

time at Ennis Hospital but are grateful to see him come around the other side. His strong immune system has been credited with aiding his ability to overcome COVID-19. When he was in early twenties, Purcell also managed to fight off TB with his doctor predicting he had “a very long life” ahead of him. On Friday he returned home to Feakle and Dun’s health has been improving each day since with his family keeping a close eye on him. Word of Dun’s recovery and his ability to defy the odds has provided a timely lift in East Clare and further afield. Kate, his daughter has said the amazing recovery makes Dun “some sort of a miracle man”.
