The Police Ombudsman is investigating yesterday's crash.
Rank and file Gardaí are criticising the lack of pursuit trained members in the force.
The vast majority of members are not pursuit certified, meaning responsibility for collisions following chases could lie with the officers, depending on the outcome of an investigation.
Fiosrú, the Police Ombudsman, is investigating yesterday's crash on the M9, as sources say Gardaí came in contact with the BMW the teenagers were travelling in earlier in the night.
Mark Ferris from the Garda Representative Association says tougher laws should be enacted for those who fail to stop:
Three women and a seven year old boy were on their way to Dublin Airport when the car they were travelling in was struck, and they remain in hospital this afternoon, two of them in critical condition.
Athy Parish Priest Father Seamus McEntee, says it should have been a happy experience for them, heading off on their travels:
