Last update: Thursday, February 8, 2007, 00:00 | © Metro Éireann

I was pretty lucky actually, it knocked me unconscious and I was underwater for a while.”  The incident left her with a broken jaw and two plates inserted to repair the damage. It's the most serious ailment she has suffered in her career, although she is no stranger to injury.
