Mon 12 Dec 2008Actor recovering after fall in castle

OSCAR-WINNING actor Brenda Fricker is recovering in a Co Louth hospital after a fall down stairs into a "dungeon bar" at the castle hotel where Paul McCartney married Heather Mills in 2002.

The mishap, at Castle Leslie, near the Co Monaghan border village of Glaslough, altered her plans for a relaxing Christmas at the castle.
