A teenager shot in the head by the Taliban will be honoured for her courage and determination tomorrow.
Pakistani student Malala Yousafzai will touch down in Ireland where she will become the latest recipient of the Tipperary International Peace Award.

The Tipperary Peace Convention will recognise Malala's courage, determination and perseverance, along with the impact she has had on so many people across the world.
Peace Convention secretary Martin Quinn said he was delighted the teenager had agreed to accept the award in person in Co Tipperary.

Malala had been secretly writing a blog for the BBC which described the struggles faced by girls trying to receive an education under the Taliban.
When her identity was uncovered, a Taliban militia boarded her school bus and shot her at point blank range in the head.
Malala, from the town of Mingora in the Swat district of Pakistan, was hit just above her left eye by a bullet which grazed the edge of her brain.
She was eventually airlifted to Britain and treated at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where she had a titanium plate and cochlear implant fitted. She was also visited by the president of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, in hospital.

Mike Mansfield, of Plan Ireland, said Malala's story has struck a chord across the world.
