Vigil to be held for three sisters and boy (7) injured in M9 motorway crash

A prayer vigil is to be held in Carlow for those affected by a fatal crash on the M9 last weekend. Bishop Denis Nulty of Kildare and Leighlin expressed shared sorrow over the crash, which left five young lives lost and three women and a boy seriously injured. The Bishop emphasized the community's responsibility on the road and the need to value and protect both their own lives and those of others.

The vigil will take place at St Clare's Church in Graiguecullen, Co Carlow, at 6.30pm tomorrow. An online fundraiser has raised over €500,000, and the Bishop commended the community's solidarity and support for the victims. Gardaí will be present at the funerals of two of the deceased teenagers in Carlow.
