Kilkenny mother invents bag to battle car sickness

Mother of two Carrie Doorley invented the QueezyBag to help son Liam deal with the motion sickness that afflicts him on even the shortest of car journeys.

Carrie, a radiographer and farmer in Clara, Co Kilkenny, sought advice from others who suffer from travel sickness, or from nausea caused by pregnancy and cancer treatment.

The sick bag has a twist-and-seal mechanism, which locks in the mess, meaning no spills, no smells, and no panic.
