Communities in Tipperary are still struggling to cope with the tragedy - indeed the heart-breaking incident has saddened people throughout the country.

A garda spokesman described the incident as “a personal tragedy” and a “very sensitive” case. They have been liaising with family members since the incident unfolded.

“It’s an awful tragedy,” former Fine Gael TD Tom Hayes, who lives in the nearby village of Golden, said.

“It’s just so sad,” Fianna Fáil county councillor from Cashel, Roger Kennedy, said. 

“The whole area is in shock.” He described the people involved as “a popular, well-known family” who are very involved in the community. “There is total sadness here.”

Sinn Féin councillor Martin Browne said -“They are a very nice, very respectable family and it’s just a complete tragedy. I’m sure the whole community will rally around the family.”
