A midlands teenager, who was seriously injured in a collision, is out of ICU.
Miya Connolly Loonam was transferred to Crumlin Children's Hospital in Dublin after the crash earlier this month.
Miya's family say the move from ICU feels like nothing short of a miracle and she's beginning to regain some independence, by using a wheelchair and learning to use crutches.
Valerie Rooney, Chairperson of Clara Ladies GAA Club has been speaking to Will Faulkner and says the family are grateful for all the support they have received.
