The family of a young Tipperary mother who was a mum for just a day before being killed in a tragic road accident has settled a High Court action over her death for €800,000.

Nicola Kenny (26) was on her way to check on her baby daughter who had been transferred to a Dublin hospital from Clonmel when a truck crashed into the car in which she was a passenger.
