A 16-year old youth appeared in court in Ennis today charged in connection with last weekend's fatal crash in Co Clare which killed two teenage girls.
The youth, who can not be named for legal reasons, faced three charges when he appeared at Ennis District Court this morning. He faces one charge of dangerous driving, one of driving without insurance and another of driving without a driving licence.
Stacy Haugh (16) and Lorna Mahoney (13), both from Kilkee, Co Clare, died when the car they were in went out of control and hit a sea wall near Carrigaholt last Friday.
The teenager arrived in court today on crutches. He was arrested after he was released from hospital in Limerick yesterday.
The youth was remanded in custody to St Patrick's Institution and will appear again in court on Tuesday, October 28th in Kilkee.
