A woman fatally struck by a car which mounted a footpath in Charleville on Saturday was the mother-in-law of Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe.

Mary Fehilly, who was in her 70s and from the town, was supporting a collection for the local GAA club along with a man in his 60s when they were both struck, it is understood.
