It comes as the funerals for best friends Dlava Mohamed and Kiea McCann are set to go ahead later today

Gardai have obtained dashcam footage of the horror crash that caused the deaths of two students on the way to their Debs ball.

Driver Anthony, 60, who is a friend of Kiea’s father and is understood to have offered the teens a lift, remains in a critical condition in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. "Kiea will be forever missed and always loved by her mum Teresa, her father Franky, her brothers and sisters; Brandon, Jentzen, Frankie, Michaela, Shauna, Shaunice, Tameaka, Tanisha, Amelia and her wide circle of best friends and family," the notice read.

Dlava’s notice stated she was the "cherished and much-loved daughter of Hohamed and Zenab Mohamed. Dlava will be sadly missed by her brothers Mostafa and Rashid and her sisters Lilov, Asmahan, Auin and Giham.Meanwhile, a brother of Dlava, who is originally from Syria, has spoken of his pain. Yesterday it emerged that Kiea’s heartbroken father rushed to the scene and cradled his daughter moments after the crash occurred.

Speaking about Kiea McCann she said: "Kiea was pleasant and courteous. She had a great love of children, and she had hoped to go on to study childcare at third level - and that is a dream that will just not be realised." Gardai are continuing to appeal for witnesses to come forward - and for more dash-cam footage, if it is available.

"This was a particularly traumatic incident for everyone involved and I wish to acknowledge and thank all of the first responders who work closely together, particularly members of An Garda Síochána, members of the ambulance and fire service, the hospital staff and indeed members of the public who stopped to render assistance.
