A woman who plays club football in Mayo, and her two sisters, who were injured in the M9 crash, have thanked the public as a fundraiser set up to support them has surpassed €833,000.
Niamh Kinsella, who plays for Claremorris, and her two sisters Alma Kinsella and Ella Hendricken, along with their nephew Yemi, were on their way to the airport on August 16th when their car was hit by a BMW that was being driven the wrong direction on the M9.
