Prayer for victims as crash toll rises

Lives lost and lives forever changed by road traffic crashes were remembered at events throughout the country yesterday.

A teddy bear with the name Mollie was placed on the altar during a remembrance ceremony in Fermoy, Co Cork.

Mollie was an unborn baby girl who died when her heavily pregnant mother, Mary Enright, 28, from Abbeyside, Dungarvan, Co Waterford, died in a collision near Bansha, Co Tipperary, in March 2012. Ms Enright’s father, David Walsh, successfully campaigned to have Mollie placed on the register of road traffic deaths. He said his daughter had just married, and Mollie was her first child.
