The family of a teenager who died in a car crash in West Cork has helped raise almost €30,000 to help fund a lifesaving air ambulance service.

Tadhg Murphy’s family, who live in Glengarriff, thanked everyone who supported their fundraising events for the Irish Community Air Ambulance (ICAA), Ireland’s first and only charity-funded emergency air ambulance service, last month.
