THE parents of an Irish barman on life support after he was allegedly assaulted in Northbridge have flown into Perth to be at his bedside.
Thomas Keaney, 23, from County Galway, who worked at The Cure Tavern and Irish Bar on Francis St, Northbridge, has been in Royal Perth Hospital since the early hours of December 17 when i t's alleged he was punched once in the head and fell on to the road.
Mr Keaney's parents arrived in Perth on Friday, Galway pub owner Brendan Keogh told The Sunday Times last night.
"His mother was telling me that after the incident she was about to go out there and the next thing he improved," Mr Keogh said.
"She was speaking to him on the phone and she was very happy that he was fine. He said to her, 'Don't worry about me, I'm OK'.
"On Christmas Eve they got the news that something had happened and his condition had deteriorated."
Abbas Al Jarood, 22, of Girrawheen, appeared in Perth Magistrates Court yesterday charged with grievous bodily harm.
His lawyer, Ken Bates, said police had advised it was anticipated Mr Keaney's life support would be switched off and he would not survive.
If that occurred a post mortem would be conducted and the charge might be upgraded, Mr Bates added.
Bail was not applied for and Mr Al Jarood was remanded in custody to appear via video-link at Perth Magistrates Court on January 13.
Earlier this week, Mr Keaney's sister, Lauren, posted on Facebook: "I would like to thank everyone for all the love, support and prayers ye have sent to Thomas. He is a legend and we are so touched by all the kind words!!"
