| The funeral of the Londonderry mother and daughter killed in a road accident in County Donegal earlier this week has taken place. | |
| Kerry-Ann Meehan, 16, and her three-month-old daughter Niesha, died after the crash on Monday night. | |
| The collision, between a car and a 4x4 vehicle, happened outside Letterkenny. | |
| Fr Stephen McLaughlin, who celebrated requiem mass at St Mary's Church in Creggan, described the deaths as "an unspeakable sadness". | |
| "The high walls of this church cover a vast space yet they cannot capture the sense of sorrow that is felt this morning as we lay to rest young Kerry-Ann and her baby Niesha," he said. | |
| "These same walls have down through the years have witnessed many a tragic funeral but nothing prepares you for the sight of a coffin that contains both a mother and her child." | |
| Niesha's 18-year-old father was seriously injured in the crash. The driver of the other vehicle was also taken to hospital. | Niesha's 18-year-old father was seriously injured in the crash. The driver of the other vehicle was also taken to hospital. |
