Both her sisters were in the sane classes as mine, shed lost a baby to a cot death Christmas last year and the mother committed suicide a few years ago, aswell as her sister being left for dead in a car accident a few years ago too. Really a family filled with tragedy.

Anyone have an update on this, I saw the search and rescue crews on the river this morning, but saw them taking the boats out of the water a few hours later, did they find anything??

Her obituary is on the 95fm site so i take it her body has been recovered. May she rest in peace.

i met the carrick search and rescue on the road this evening, i was wondering why they had finished so early.

Condolences to family and friends - Sounds like such a tragic event, some people don't seem to get a fair shot at it at all

Very sad about that girl. At least her family can get some closure with her body being found so fast. I'm not a religious guy, but I hope that if there is something beyond the world/life we know that she has found peace there.


I see another girl/woman entered the river last night, and the search and rescue guys managed to get her out alive. I hope that she gets whatever help she needs to turn around whatever left her feeling she had no other way to escape.


I know I have said this before, but I can never praise the search and rescue guys enough. Brave folk who put their own lives at risk with every callout, and who don't get the funding that their amazing service deserves.

A/c to live 95 it was the fire service & gardai that rescued said lady last night....

do the fire service have a rib? if not there should be a collection for one. their 24hr responce time is unbeatable.....

Ive seen the guards to their credit talk countless people off the quays and bridges.

IMO the search and rescue are at a disadvantage timewise as they are located 'dry' on the dock road and require notification/mobile and launch time to get in the water which im sure unfortuntly leads them to do more searching than rescuing

hats off to all involved.... .

I don't think so, I remember something in the papers about them trying to get one but I never heard if they actually did.....

What would it cost to have one jetski ready at all times for a fast response? With the number of people lost to the river each year it might be just enough to save a few lives. I sometimes despair at the amount of resources spent on road safety every year when suicide takes so many more lives and no resources are given to it.

I saw jet skis during the search. I think it had garda markings.

Thats not the same, ....if there was a responce / rescue within 5 - 8min there would be no need for a prolonged search....

Afaik, The Limerick S&R have a jetski. I think I've seen them practice on the Shannon with it and they have used it on nights like the fireworks at the Castle.
