He was hospitalised earlier this month.
A midlands MEP is paying tribute to the health care staff that took care of him after experiencing a recent health scare.
Offaly's Barry Cowen found himself hospitalised earlier this month after presenting to the emergency department at the Midlands Regional Hospital in Tullamore.
Former Agriculture Minister then underwent a surgical procedure in St James' Hospital.
Mr Cowen says he has recovered well, and is particularly grateful to those who took care of him in Tullamore and Dublin:
