Ballybunion accident victim is named
The 6-year old girl who was killed in a traffic accident in Ballybunion, County Kerry has been named as Katelyn Liston, from O’Malley Park, Southill, Limerick City.
Katelyn was struck by a car as she attempted to cross the East End road from the caravan park she was staying to a nearby shop.
She was with a number of other youngsters when she was struck by the vehicle.
In the Limerick Leader newspaper today, her mother, Shirley, paid tribute to the members of the emergency services who came to Katelyn’s assistance and their efforts to save her life.
“I couldn’t begin to tell you the amount of effort from people in Ballybunion. From the emergency services and gardai, they did everything they could to try to save her, but couldn’t. All our friends and family have been fantastic,” she is quoted in the paper as saying.
