On-call firefighters welcomed All Ireland winning footballer Niall Grimley and the Sam Maguire Cup to a special meeting of a support group for those affected by road collisions.

Niall lost his brother Patrick and sister-in-law Ciera Grimley in a crash last November near Markethill, Co Armagh which also claimed the life of Craigavon nurse Ciara McElvanna. Ciara’s husband Kevin, a doctor at Craigavon Hospital, was also in the vehicle which took the life of his wife and two friends.

“Our On-Call Firefighters presented Niall with a personal donation to the support group,” said a spokesperson for the NI Fire and Rescue Service.

On-Call Watch Commander Kevin McAuley said: “It has been a very special evening for us as a group. It’s really important that we continue to support and educate people on the importance of road safety.

"Tragically people in this room have lost family members in road traffic collisions and this was one of our ways that we would like to show support to the families and local community.”
