In an update online, Ella Hendricken and Niamh and Alma Kinsella thanked people for their support, and say they'll never forget the public's kindness.

They had issued a positive update back in September, stating that they were getting stronger as the days go by.

A GoFund me had also been set up following the crash, and €834,882 has been raised as of today (23 October).
