Valerie McAllorum Ryan suffered catastrophic injuries in November 2018 when a juvenile driver lost control of his car and mounted the footpath after being clipped by another vehicle moving out of a parking space. The incident was a hit-and-run and involved a juvenile driver. Seven years after the collision, she has urged TDs and Senators to progress plans to close a "loophole" in legislation relating to children who offend.
