Person of the Year award for bus crash student

A CO Meath student who survived the Navan bus crash, which killed her sister, has been named as the Young Irish Person of the Year.

Anita McCluskey, aged 14, was one of the main recipients at the 32nd annual People of the Year Awards held at Citywest, on Saturday night.

Anita, from Beauparc, Navan, Co Meath, was honoured for the bereavement counselling group called Seedlings, which she established with fellow students after the accident that claimed the lives of her sister Claire and four other schoolgirls, at Kentstown, in May 2005.
