The 18-year-old contracted meningitis just under two weeks ago.
Crossmaglen Rangers Under-21 footballer, Ruairí O’Neill, has been seriously ill over the last two weeks after contracting meningitis.
This occurred soon after he helped his club secure a second U-21 county title.
There has been an outpouring of support over the last couple days once news of Ruairí’s condition began to surface.
