Funeral of mother, daughter killed in crash to take place

The funerals of a mother and daughter who were killed in a road crash on Tuesday in Co Mayo will take place today.

The funeral mass for Aisling Moore and her daughter Abbigael Tournié Moore of Cois Coille, Swinford will take place at Our Lady Help of Christians Church, with burial afterwards at Kilconduff cemetary.

Ms Moore, who was 46, and eight-year-old Abbigael were killed after their car and a lorry were involved in a collision on the N26 at Callow, between Foxford and Swinford.

The driver of the lorry was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Abbigael was a member of the Swinford Athletic Club and in a post on Facebook earlier this week, the club said that the athletic community was “heartbroken beyond words”.

The club said Ms Moore helped out at the club as much as possible and was “always ready for her supervision duties and the first to offer if we needed help in running any event”.

Abbigael was also member of the U-10 Kiltimagh GAA team and was described as a “kind, bubbly and fun loving girl”.

Both Ms Moore and Abbigael were described by members as “inseparable”.

Their funeral mass will take place at midday.
