A HOLLYWOOD MOTHER killed in a collision in County Kildare had already
suffered tragedy when her brother was killed in a road accident near the west
Wicklow village.
49-year-old Teresa Kiely was also one of the leading lights of the Save Hollywood Campaign consisting of locals from the village and surrounding area opposed to the preferred route for the new Tallaght to Hollywood Cross road.
A brother of Teresa's had been killed in a road accident near the family home back in 1980.
The car Teresa was driving was involved in a collision with an SUV on the Kilcullen to Athy Road in County Kildare last Tuesday at 4.30 p.m.. Also travelling alongside her was her 16year-old daughter Leanne, who suffered a fractured arm and head injuries in the crash.
Leanne had just turned 16 on Christmas day while Teresa's 50th birthday was due to take place that Saturday.
Deputy Billy Timmins paid tribute to the deceased woman, who leaves behind her husband Caiman and two children, Leanne and 14-year-old Patrick.
'It's a very sad and tragic loss for family, relatives and friends and it's a huge loss to the tight knit community of Hollywood. She was one of the leading forces behind the Hollywood Fair and gave of herself selflessly to many projects in the area. She was a very determined and committed lady. It's a sad, sad loss.'
Teresa was also part of delegation who attended a meeting organised by Deputy Timmins with Transport Minister Leo Varadkar where locals from Hollywood voiced their concerns over the preferred route through Hollywood for the new Tallaght to Hollywood Cross road.
Teresa had a number of safety fears regarding the route which she felt weren't being addressed by Kildare County Council. She also urged opponents of the route to lodge submissions with the council before November's deadline.
Teresa was heavily involved in the Hollywood Fair, which was started last year to mark Hollywood's history as a market village. The event proved a huge success, drawing close to 7,000 people to the picturesque village during the main weekend of the fair in August.
She also worked a number of part time jobs while studying accountancy as well.
There was a huge attendance at her funeral mass held at St. Kevin's Church on Friday morning followed by her burial afterwards in the adjoining cemetery. Her tragic loss is deeply regretted by Caiman, Leanne and Patrick, father William, Sheila, brothers James and Paddy, relatives and friends.
