    try the library or courthouse in Roscommon, they might keep newspapers on film and you can use a machine to look it up.

    they also keep the newspapers on microfilm in the library in Boyle.

    Or you could contact the Roscommon Herald or Leitrim Observer. I imagine both papers would have run the story at the time. They may be able to help you.

    I have just also found out a relative of mine has died in the a fire in Arigna, I would love to hear from you as I don't think there were many house fires where 2 ladies passed away.

    There would have to be an inquest in to these deaths. The County Coroner Office should be able to assist some way
