Tramore is in deep mourning today as the community tries to come to terms with a horrific car crash out along the Cliff Road last night.
A sixteen year old school girl lost her life and two other teenagers are seriously injured.
Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the girl who died and our thoughts are with the injured boy and girl and the driver who, though, not badly injured will clearly be scarred for life.
Every parent lives in dread of these awful accidents which can bring such drastic changes in a heartbeat.
The community is certainly drawing together to try and support those who have been beareved and injured. I guess we all know that this could just as easily be one of our own children and, in a small place like this, where people know each other, there is a sense that we have lost a child who was part of Tramore and its environs.
A sad, sad time here which will live on in the collective memory for a long, long time.
Rest in Peace, Beautiful Young Woman and know that you are held in the most loving arms imaginable.

I’m so very sorry, Jean. That’s just terrible news. Any loss of life hurts but to lose youth is especially painful.
Prayers for those who will suffer with the scars of this tragedy for the rest of their lives.
Thanks George. It’s hard to take in so how on earth the parents can cope is almost beyond contemplation.
I couldn’t even imagine.
Nor I but I supose we should never underestimate the resilience of the human spirit.
It is such a tragedy to lose someone so young.
Absolutely, Joan, and a young woman who was greatly loved by family and a very wide circle of friends.
I saw her photos on the news, and she looked such a beautiful person.
Absolutely, Joan
My thoughts are with those who grieve.
Thanks so much, Sue. Those who are grieving need all the love and support possible.

That’s really sad.
Hi Arlene, yes truly sad for her nearest and dearest.
I’m so sorry, Jean.
Thanks Luanne.
So sad for everyone involved and the driver as you mentioned. Peace for all.
Hi CC, it’s one of those tragedies that has left it its sad mark across the generations.
It was awful news and hopefully those who are injured will recover without life changing injuries.
Each Sunday I wave my three eldest goodbye as they leave for college and never relax until I know they are safely landed.
Hi Tric, oh I know that feeling you write of. That dread of a life changing phonecall that was visited on the poor families in this tragic accident that happened on such a lovely road by the sea.
Yes I read that with sinking heart. The poor parents in particular, and the driver who’ll now never be free of guilt. The world can be a sad place and one’s place in it changed forever.
Hi Roy, yes so much can change in a few seconds. It’s just plain sad.
May she rest in peace. Life can be too hard and unfair too often.
You’re so right, John. Thanks for writing.
Terrible news, my heart goes out to the families.
Yes, it’s heartbreaking for the families and friends. Life can be so tough …
Devastating.
So sorry to hear this sad news Jean, I’m sure the community will pull together to try to support each other as best as you can.
Thanks Andrea. The community is certainly doing its best. That’s definitely one of the great things about small places like this.
