A man who spent 16 days in an induced coma in an Antrim hospital due to Covid-19 has said he is "one of the lucky ones" to recover and he is very conscious of those who have not been so fortunate.
43-year-old Niall Murphy, a well-known solicitor in Belfast, was discharged on Monday after being in hospital for nearly four weeks.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Murphy said he is still very weak but thankful he is "healthy and back home" with his wife and children.
He said he could not believe he was in a coma for so long. Mr Murphy described how symptoms started after returning from a trip to New York in mid-March.
