Ms Kenneally fractured all four limbs as well her spine and ribs and spent three months in hospital afterwards. Ms Kenneally, a teacher, of Barnane, Templemore, said she could hear her mother calling her father’s name after the crash but he was not responding. It is alleged that Mr Dillon grabbed the steering wheel as his sister drove. Ms Kenneally has also sued the HSE, as owner of St Luke’s Hospital, Kilkenny, where Mr Dillon had received treatment. Opening the case, Hugh Mohan SC, for Ms Kenneally, said she was blameless in the accident and had no time to blink or swerve.
