"I hope to make a full recovery and return to work and rugby, but it will take some time. For now, I will be Ireland’s biggest fan.”
Dane was cared for by the men's international medical team before she was transferred to hospital.
The scrum-half will be on indefinite leave until she fully recovers.
Dane does not know when she will return to rugby but will continue supporting her team.
Her recovery is now her top priority.
Irish Rugby responded to Dane's statement with some encouraging words of support.
"We're all behind you as you make your way back to full health, Kathryn Dane. We hope to see you back in a green jersey again soon!"
