At 92 years young Maureen O’Sullivan has been the back-bone of the local community in Tuosist since the pandemic hit last March. As the only shop between Ardgroom and Kenmare, she became ever more vital as the community went into lock-down and despite, given her age, the fear of contracting the virus, her doors remained open to ensure that the basic necessities were always readily available.
“I like doing the bit of business and meeting people and chatting. We are the only shop between Kenmare and Ardgroom so people are very grateful. I always left the door open in case anybody would need anything. It was nice to see the customers and they always supported me,” she said.
He came from a big family with several other brothers and sisters. Among the many flowers left at the scene was one with a card from his family. âSuch a beautiful soul, a bright career ahead and taken so suddenly, we miss you,â it said.
Another was left by Adam, one of his best friends: âJosh bro, I loved ye so much and canât put into words how heartbroken I am . . . Donât forget to look over me and Kyle,â it said.
A postmortem will be carried out on the teenagerâs body on Wednesday afternoon at the City Morgue by Dr Heidi Okkers, Locum Assistant State Pathologist.
