    It’s so sad to think they both lay there undiscovered for a period of time, an awful tragedy. May they rest in peace & please take a few minutes to check in on elderly neighbours if at all possible.

    What is so tragic in this case is that neighbours have told gardai that this couple have not been seen since 2020 and that locals believed that they had returned to England because of the pandemic, it is so very sad, condolences to any family members and thoughts with the emergency services dealing with the tragedy.
