Three young brothers, all of whom were injured when a wheel came off an SUV on a motorway, were Thursday awarded €85,000 damages between them.

Barrister John Nolan told Circuit Court President Raymond Groarke in the Circuit Civil Court that Mr Simon Sweeney was driving his family along the M9 Motorway in Co Kilkenny when the accident happened.
