Valerie McAllorum Ryan sustained catastrophic injuries in November 2018 when a juvenile driver lost control after being clipped by another vehicle, mounted the footpath and struck her in a hit-and-run. The collision occurred as a car moved out of a parking space and clipped the juvenile's vehicle, causing it to mount the sidewalk. The incident left her with life-changing injuries and prompted an appeal to TDs and Senators to progress plans to close a legal loophole affecting how children who offend are dealt with. The appeal seeks legislative reform to increase accountability and strengthen victim protections.
