Support for bus crash families hailed

AS the families and friends of the five girls killed in last May’s tragic bus crash in Navan gathered to mark the first anniversary, the Bishop of Meath said the support of the local community had been invaluable.

Bishop Michael Smith said the families had received tremendous support from friends, neighbours, the clergy and the local schools.

“They really came up trumps at the time and continue to do so. They’re a very rooted community,” he said.
