Grainne Kealy suffered serious injuries following a crash in 2006.
A mother who suffered horrific brain and facial injuries following a crash in 2006 says she doesn't remember the three months before the accident.
Grainne Kealy from Laois was resting her legs on the dashboard when the jeep she was a passenger in crashed into a wall, causing the airbag to deploy.
She was been awarded the top prize at the Road Safety Authority's annual 'Leading Lights' awards for 2019 for her awareness campaigns with Gardai in Thurles.
Daniel Daly from Offaly - who's visually imparied - also took away a Special Recognition Award.
He undertook an accessibility and road safety audit of Banagher in which he found that those with disabilities cannot travel independently.
