Christmas miracle - mum who almost lost her kids in road accident speaks for first time about how grateful she is to those who saved their lives

A County Antrim mother says her family has been given a Christmas miracle after her two children were brought back from the brink of death following a road accident in January of this year. 14 year old Fintan O'Neill and his 12 year old sister, Mary, were getting off a school bus in Randalstown when they were knocked down - their mother, Amelia, was waiting for them in her car when the accident happened. Both children were rushed to intensive care with life threatening injuries and their parents were told Mary would not make it. This is the first time Amelia O'Neill has spoken about what happened that day - and she told our reporter, Nicola Weir, how a priest was called twice to give the last rites to Mary as she lay in hospital beside her brother.
