Their nomination came just a few months after Abby’s death from a life-limiting illness last January.

Nicola praised her boys for the way they have coped through the loss of their sister.

Nicola said she believes that Abby is always looking out for them.

Meanwhile, Carmel Geaney from Bweeng was bidding farewell to her daughter Caitlin. The nine-year-old was nominated for the trip for her bravery and determination.

Siobhán Tobin learned that she and her son Killian had been nominated for the trip by her colleague John Looney who founded the Cork City Hospitals Children’s Club.
