Thoughts and prayers with her family and friends. God rest her. The water in the lake and sea is bitterly cold this time of year. Even strong swimmers can be incapacitated by cold water shock.
Please people/- be cautious around water.RIP. Poor woman.
Very sad to think that a family out on an Easter weekend break could end so tragically. The second such tragic incident in the past fortnight, a couple drowned from a cruiser in Carrick on Shannon just over a week ago.
Should’ve been wearing a live jacket
@Jlocoroco: true .. it would have saved her ..
@Jlocoroco: so you know all the details of the incident , do you? You know for a fact that she wasn’t sleepwalking? And you would know to put on your life jacket when you’re sleep walking. Bloody know it all.
@Jlocoroco: so you know all the details of the incident do you? You know for a fact she wasn’t sleep walking? Would you remember to wear a life jacket on if you were sleep walking? Bloody know at all
@Suzie Sunshine: another know at all that knows everything about this poor girl’s fate. Shame on you
@Donegal Doseofshh: Well it states in the media that she went out to check the robes before going to bed. She should have been wearing a life jacket, whether asleep or not, if she is on a boat in the water. Hence forth we can assume that she was not sleepwalking, so stop condemning others for your lack of knowledge.
A mother of 2 kids from Donegal on a family holiday. Husband dived in to save her but couldn’t find her. RIP.
Now folks THAT is victim blaming!!
Hard for that man ,to have to watch that.Lord have mercy on his loved one and strengthen him at this time.
@SuzukaYuiMoa:
If you have to ask that question you should stay away from boats yourself, accidents happen and being able to swim is no guarantee against drowning.
RIP.
@SuzukaYuiMoa: the red thumbs are gone and you still managed to collect more red than green, stupid comment. RIP young woman, condolences to her family.
@SuzukaYuiMoa: disgusting comment which I have requested to be removed. I hope you get what you deserve.
RIP
have your say
