“In all honesty I don’t feel like a hero at all. I only wished at the time I could have done more.” He said, according to the Mirror.Speaking about the baby girl whose live he saved, Davitt said:
“Rioghnach-Ann is going to be there for ever." “She’s going to be part of my life and I want her to be part of my life. That’s what I hope."So much so that he hopes to teach her about water safety.
“One thing I definitely want to do is take her swimming – make sure she knows how to swim. “I’ll wait until she’s three, four or five but that will fly in.”Davitt spoke about the important bond the two now have after the tragic night in March.
“There is a special connection there that won’t be broken. “I want to be part of Rioghnach-Ann’s life and I want to see her growing up. “I’ve already had a charity event that raised €7,200 and that’s just the start of it. I want to have an education fund put aside for when she turns 18 or 20. Hopefully, we’ll raise up to £20,000 and that will be her future after finishing school to make sure she is looked after. “I want to be part of Louise’s life as well but at the moment emotions are running high on both sides and she’s trying to get over what happened, and I’m the same.”We couldn't think of a more deserving person to be honoured at the Pride of Ireland Awards.
