“Our brave little trooper Aoife Belle. She suffered an unfortunate freak accident where she tripped and chipped a bone in her elbow that ended up requiring surgery.

“We greatly appreciate your kindness and care. Thank you #NHS.”

It comes as the mum-of-two opened up about her postnatal depression following the birth of her second child.
She spoke with the Press Association last year, where she opened up about dealing with PND.
She was affected by the condition after she welcomed Tadgh
. She admits that she went back to work too quickly and put too much pressure on herself to be a good mother. After going to her doctor she was diagnosed with PND and prescribed medication.
According to RTÉ, she said:
“When I had Tadgh, I had a touch of PND, something I didn’t experience when Aoife was born.
“It was a lonely time and I wasn’t helping the situation. I was moving to a new house, Ben had suffered an injury at work and I also jumped back into work quicker than I did when I had Aoife.
“I thought I would be fine, and could do it all because I’d had a child before.
“I had the support of my own mum and all my family, but I was putting so much pressure on myself to be a good mum, and started to feel alone and withdrawn.
“All this added up, and finally I went to my GP who diagnosed post-natal depression. I was offered medication but having tried both, preferred the cognitive therapy route.
Talking, whether to my GP or to friends and other new mums, was so helpful for me.”
