A Kerry man and his friends were counting their blessings this week, after it emerged they dined in the same restaurant in France, as a couple who contracted botulism.

A 32-year-old woman who was on her honeymoon has since died from the deadly food poisoning, while her Irish husband is in intensive care in Paris.

It's understood they ate sardines in the French/Chinese restaurant in Bordeaux, that's at the centre of the botulism investigation.

He told Radio Kerry news that there was nothing in the restaurant on the night, to indicate that food or hygiene standards were low:
