Motorists have been urged drivers to take extra care after a car skidded off the road and plunged into the River Deel in Co Limerick.
Two gardaí waded into the freezing water to rescue the driver who had become trapped in her car due to strong currants in the river.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, thanked her rescuers, gardaí Michael Hally and Andrew Maher, as well as the ambulance and fire service personnel who attended the scene.
“Without their help, who knows what could have happened to me,” she said.
Gardai in Rathkeale received a report shortly after 7pm on Saturday that a car had gone into the river in Newbridge, Askeaton.
and paralympic games this has been a trance as far as britain is concerned. i would spugt souggest some broadcasters, jeremy paxton, john humphries, and andrew maher may not be international names. how about david beckham getting a knighthood. i mean, he is international, but there are also rumors why he s had only an obe that was in 2003. all right. richard, a very tight amount of time to ask you an important question here, but the queen herself, 2019 s been a rough year, to say the least. for example, her husband prince philip had health problems. there are reports of her grandsons prince william and harry growing apart. also the drama surrounding harry s marriage to meghan markle. not to mention the trolling that meghan faced. and not but not least, the
controversy surrounding her son prince andrew surrounding his ties with jeffrey epstein. how do you think she s feeling about all of this? i think the queen must be feeling very grieved. if you back lack to the 1990s there were a great deal of difficulties and disasters that were on the royal family. this year, it was so positive, but now you ve just listed a series of problems there was also a car crash of which the duke of edinburgh was involved. he was seen in the seat of a new land rover. as far as william and harry, we re waiting to see perhaps in the year. their relationship with the media and the fact that they feel ill at ease in the trip in south africa, puts a question
over whatever exactly the duties they want. i think the foundation will launch big in the new year. as far as the other is concerned, it s absolutely toxic, that interview that andrew gave with the deceased epstein and the whole backlash of that. the fact that one of his daughters princess beatrice is being married in the new year. how will that be handled and also what about the victims and the legal complications. all of this raises big marks. as you say, a terrible year for the royal family. we hope next year isn t. richard, i think thank you for time. for those around the world, i thank you for being with us. i m george howell for cnn newsroom in atlanta, more news after the break. she wanted to move someplace warm. but he wanted snow for the holidays.
