Five people are dead and four people – including a seven-year-old boy – are seriously injured after a stolen BMW was driven the wrong way on the M9 motorway in Co Kildare.
Five teenage boys in the stolen BMW were killed instantly in the head-on collision, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Three sisters and a seven-year-old boy were in the other car. They are all in a serious condition in a number of hospitals across Dublin.
Alma and Niamh Kinsella were in the front of the Hyundai making its way to Dublin Airport. Their little sister Ellie Hendricken and her nephew were in the back.
