The sisters at the centre of the horror M9 crash last month have said they are ‘taking each day as it comes.’

Niamh and Alma Kinsella, and their younger sister Ella Hendricken were left fighting for their lives when the car they were driving collided with a group of teenagers driving the wrong way.

The collision resulted in the deaths of all five occupants of the car driving the wrong-way.

The sisters, who had been travelling to Dublin Airport to attend a wedding in the United Kingdom, were left in critical condition. The seven-year-old nephew of Alma was also in the car at the time.

On Monday, a fresh update has been issued on the fundraiser from the three sisters.

The fundraiser was launched by family friend Bryan in the days following the collision to help the ‘long and challenging road ahead.’

A statement from the sisters said they were ‘continuing to take things one day at a time’ and were getting stronger as the days go by.

Extending their thanks for the kindness, messages and support, they said: ‘The past few weeks have been incredibly difficult for all of us, but the support we’ve received from so many people has meant more than we could ever put into words.

‘To every person who has donated, shared the fundraiser, sent a message or simply kept us and our family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.’

The sisters added that the kindness had been ‘overwhelming’ and they were ‘incredibly grateful.’

‘For now, we’re continuing to focus on getting stronger and taking each day as it comes,’ they concluded.

At the time of writing, more than €823,000 had been raised towards the €900,000 goal. To donate and for more information go here.

Five teenagers — Joe Carthy, Jack Kennedy, Alex McCarthy, Jeremy O’Brien and Kamil Pustkowski — had been speeding down the wrong way of the motorway in a BMW.

The group were all killed as a result.
