A Galway toddler who fell into a drain near Carrowbrowne over a week ago has been taken off the critical list.

The 21 month old baby boy is now in a stable condition at University Hospital Galway.

The child had spent the past week in a critical conditon at the intensive care unit.

He was rushed there last Sunday week after a family member found him in the drain near a temporary halting site.

Three separate investigations are being carried out into the circumstances of his fall by Galway Gardaí, the City Council, and the Health and Safety Authority.

Meanwhile, a woman remains in a stable condition in hospital following a two car crash in Oranmore on Saturday night.

The collision happened at around quarter to ten at a roundabout along the N18 Clarinbridge to Oranmore road.

The crash victim was one of two women travelling in one of the cars, the other woman was not injured.
