Thoughts with her family
How horrible
Like wise.
Awful news, slow down people arrive alive.
That’s the problem all the media and garda are saying slow down don’t drink drive.
Just cause you don’t speed and drink drive. Dose not mean you dont have to pay attention, just cause you walking / cycling dosen mean you have a right.
Just comeing home there on a national road doing the 100km speed limited a guy didn’t stop at stop sign. Had to avoid them nearly ended in the ditch could of died, this guy just drove on with out a care in the world.
Yet if I did die the head lines be young man loses control while speeding.
Main prob on our roads is everyone is complacent every body thinks its some else fault.
We need to show adverts showing the dangerous of not looking.
LOOK TWICE AND SAVE A LIFE!!
I was only on that road Xmas eve night and had to take it easy. Treacherous bumpy road with black ice. My condolences to the family and friends of this lady. Very unfortunate. Ar dheis de go raibh a anam.
So sad, this poor woman lost her son in an accident on this road less that 12 month ago cannot imagine what that poor family must be going threw.
When is the Journal ever going to stop comments on stories like this??? Close the comment section for god sake…. Trolling A-Holes just lapping it up and it looks so disrespectful to anyone who knows this person or their family to see the childish behavior that goes on here 99% of the time that a death is publicized…. Out of respect and a bit of common sense/courtesy
I couldn’t agree more. It’s a disgrace!
Rip.So sad.
I’m shocked at the disrespect of some comments.Thank you to others for your sincere condolences ,
This lady happens to be the sister in law of one of my friends.The whole families concerned are devastated,as her son Ray was also killed near this spot last February..
I just pray for your ignorance ..Thank you all for your positive comments,may you be blessed and safe!
THANKS A VERONICA WE NEED TO GREIF IN PEACE X
I am highly insulted and shocked at those comments from horrible sad individuals here on the journal.ie I am a cousin of this lady and find the comments offensive. I hope you never experience what the family are going through at the moment because it is a dark horrible time for them all. The lack of respect and empathy makes me question the society we live in today. Let the family grieve in peace. Rest in peace Eunice X I hope the journal remove such comments and prevent immediate family and friends from seeing them.
Very sad, my sincere condolences to the family.
have your say
