A Dublin mother has taken to Social Media to praise the heroics of her young daughter who saved an elderly man's life on Tuesday afternoon.
Megan was walking down George's Street at lunchtime on Tuesday when she spotted a man stumbling and falling down on the street.
As people kept walking on by, Megan realised that the man's health was deteriorating and eventually found out that the man - who is in his 70s - was showing signs of a stroke.

Her mother, Lisa, told 98FM's Dublin Talks that: "Megan was walking down the street with another girl from college.
"This man was stumbling on the street but people just thought he was drunk.
"She went over to him and asked him 'if he was okay' but she soon realised that he couldn't breathe and wasn't speaking and that his mouth was dropped on one side."

The brave young woman performed CPR on the injured man immediately until an ambulance arrived.
Lisa continued: "Spar on George's Street were very helpful. Megan did CPR on him and was shouting at people to look for a defibilator."
But surprisingly, despite searching "all around George's Street and Dame Street", there was no defibrillator to be found.
It was just after 1pm when the incident occurred and when the ambulance was rang.
Megan stayed with the man and kept working on him until emergency services took over.
Lisa added: "The CPR worked. She was an emotional wreck after it all. I don't think she's realised what she's done.

She concluded with pride: "He was admitted to Hospital but I rang up and he's doing well. It's lovely to know that Megan had the compassion to do what she did.
