A nurse who recovered from ebola before contracting meningitis has been discharged from a specialist unit.

Pauline Cafferkey's been transferred to Glasgow.

The 39 year-old caught ebola while working in Sierra Leone - but thought she'd recovered from the disease months ago.

Pauline is a relative of former Irish goalkeeping great Packie Bonner
