The car struck the tree at Legnakelly in Clones when were on their way to the event at a nearby hotel.
The Irish Mirror reports that three other people have been hospitalized by the incident with a teenage girl and the driver of the car in his 60s both still in critical conditions.
Kiea’s sister posted on social media: “I really don’t know what to say. I’m just so heartbroken over you, my little baby sister.
“I have no words to describe the emotions going through me right now. I really don’t know what to do without you.
“I am just so lost and don’t understand how something like this could just happen to you and I just hope you know that we all love you so much.”
She continued: “I would do anything just to have you here with me one last time just to tell you that I love you and need you. You were taken from us too soon, your life was just starting to begin and you can no longer enjoy it.
“You were such a strong beautiful loving caring girl and very thick headed but I would never change anything about you. Rest easy princess and look over us. I will never forget you or the great times we had.
“You hold a big special part in my life and that will never change. I will never understand why life is so cruel to take such a special person like you out of it. I love you forever.”
Minister for Social Protection and local TD Heather Humphreys spoke to reporters outside Largy College on Tuesday (August 1).
She explained how one of the parents had heard the horrific news while they were out on a football field.
“It is every parent’s worst nightmare because nobody expects to get that phone call.
“One of the parents was on the football field last night and she got the call to go and it’s just the shock and to think this could happen to any child,” she said.
“This is a very, very sad day for Clones and there’s a cloud over the town now and people just feel so upset and numb by the tragedy that occurred last night.”
She continued: “There’s two more children in hospital and then the driver of the car is also in a critical condition.
“So it’s an awful tragedy and our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost their loved ones but also with the families and the children who attend this school”.
Local Senator Robbie Gallagher told the outlet: “With everybody around the town this morning it’s the only topic of conversation and everywhere you go people are just numb and devastated that this could happen on an occasion which was supposed to be a joyful one.
“The girls were all getting their hair and makeup done and for it to end like that is just devastating. Everyone is just heartbroken.”
