The couple’s daughter Becky, who is in her teens, also suffered bruising in the shocking crash but her injuries aren’t life threatening. The young woman is tonight being comforted by relatives. Gardai believe she may have been pushed to safety by her brave parents.

The mum’s heartbroken cousin, Carly Gray, told The Irish Sun how the family had been left devastated by the tragedy. She said: “All we can say is that Georgina and Anthony are loved beyond measure and will forever be in our hearts. “This is a devastating tragedy that has torn our family apart. Two children have been left without both parents and their daughter witnessed such trauma.

“They were just going out for dinner and their lives were taken — they have been taken from us all.”. In a social media post, Ms Gray also posted: “If anyone has any information on who did this, please come forward. “My beautiful cousin Georgina and her husband. Two children left without a mother and father over a reckless driver.”.
