A CHARITABLE trust has been set up to help the Grogan family in Tuam move one step closer to bringing their son Shane home after he suffered a serious brain injury in an assault in the town in 2012.

Shane Grogan (33) requires round the clock hospital care following the assault in which he was struck on the head with a brick on the Milltown Road, Tuam in the early hours of August 5, 2012.

He has since undergone emergency brain surgery in Beaumont Hospital and has spent over nine months in University Hospital Galway.

Shane has been transferred to the National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH) in Dun Laoghaire, where he is undergoing an intensive thrlee-month treatment programme until the end of September.

A Care for Shane account has been set up in St Jarlath's Credit Union Tuam where donations can be made to Account No: 496900.
