Student fighting for life in hospital

THE driver of the car in which four students were killed on the Galway-Mayo border on Tuesday evening was fighting for her life last night.

Michelle O’Donnell, a 21-year-old third-year arts student, remained in a critical condition at Mayo General Hospital in Castlebar.

Her parents, John and Nora, were at her bedside, having travelled on a lifeboat from their Inis Mor home on the Aran Islands on Tuesday night to be at her bedside.
