Seán is currently undergoing an initial 12-week rehabilitation programme in the north of England in a specialist neurological facility which focuses on developing speech and movement. This comes after almost 18 months of treatment in Ireland. Tickets for the event go on sale Monday, October 14th @9am and you can buy them by clicking here.
