Chloe’s mother warns on dangers of alcohol

The mother of a Chloe Kinsella, the 15-year-old Limerick girl whose body was recovered from the Shannon river earlier this month, has spoken of her devastating loss and urged other teenagers to seek help if they are feeling down.

Shirley Kinsella was speaking yesterday at a special event to honour seven groups involved in the search for Chloe who was found six days after she went missing from her home at Kenyon Avenue in Kileely.

Limerick gardaí, Civil Defence, Abbeyfeale and District Search and Rescue, the Irish Coast Guard, Bunratty and Mallow Search and Rescue teams, and Limerick Marine Search and Rescue received plaques of gratitude at a special ceremony in St Munchin’s Community Centre in Limerick.
