RIP Seamus and those who have died tragically in Co. Clare in the past few days. Thoughts with their families and friends. May they find strength to bear the pain.

Mr. G

RTÉ link above is dead...

The body of a man has been recovered from the Claureen River near the Dún na hÍnse estate in Ennis.

The remains were discovered this afternoon during searches for a 22 year old man missing from the area since Saturday.

Family members of Seamus Higgins have expressed concerns for his safety since he vanished from a home in Dún na hÍnse, leading to an extensive search operation led by the Clare Civil Defence and Gardaí.

The body has been removed to University Hospital Limerick where a post mortem examination will be carried out.

RIP. My thoughts are with the Higgins family on this awful tragedy.

Claregirl

This is just awful news. RIP

The head expected the worst but the heart hoped for the best. I knew Seamus as a child in the ENS and thought of him frequently over the years. This is such a tragic waste.

My thoughts are now with his family and friends and I hope they can at least take comfort from the efforts and good wishes from so many people over the past few days.

RIP young man,

His foster-mam is a friend of mine, and a well known poster here on the Clare boards, I wont reveal who, she may do herself in her own time. I can only imagine the devastation and pain, most of us Ennis people are still in shock.

RIP Seamus !

Hi,

I got the following message from the foster-mother of Seamus, she's clearly very upset by had this message for all the posters here.

My real name is Tina Whelan, and I want to thank every one of you for your concern and support, we loved Seamus so much, we are just devastated but i cant express enough my gratitude to the people of Ennis, Clare and Ireland for their help searching for Seamus.

Never in my whole life have I seen the effort that was put in to find anyone, I am so proud to be a townie and Im honoured that I can write in the Clare forum.
