A Downpatrick councillor has finally returned home after spending two months fighting meningitis in hospital.

Naomi Bailie was in a life-or-death coma for 5 weeks, after collapsing at her home in early December.

She had to endure 6 gruelling rounds of surgery to restore her to full health.

Last year 31 year old Ms Bailie was elected Newry, Mourne and Down Council's first ever woman Chair.
