Sister, Shannon, has shared an update on her Instagram page this Wednesday.
“To anyone who wants to see or asking about Lee - right now we have no updates,” she posted.
Shannon said Lee is not allowed any visitors, only immediate family.
“He underwent a procedure yesterday (Tuesday) which opens him for infection so until Lee is moved from ICU to a ward or his condition changes, immediate family only please,” she continued.
Thoughtful Shannon said it is just to save anyone the full journey up to Dublin to be refused entry to see Lee because it has happened to a few of his closest people.
Lee is known far and wide for his kindness and support of important causes, one of which is Limerick Treaty Suicide Prevention. This is reflected in over €104,000 being raised for Lee and his family from a GoFundMe page. To donate click here
