In a Facebook post, Paul Higgins thanked everyone who had sent their well wishes, after his son was transferred from Cork University Hospital to Temple Street in Dublin following yesterday’s crash. “He will love to hear [the well wishes] when he wakes to hear it,” Higgins said. “To see your child that way is the worst feeling I ever had in my life today.”In an update today, gardaí investigating the hit-and-run collision said they recovered a blue saloon car they believe was used in the incident.

The car was recovered approximately 1km from the scene. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact Anglesea Street Garda Station on 021 452 2000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station.
