Couple found dead at Cork home named
A couple in their eighties who were found dead near the stairs of their terraced home in Glounthaune, Co Cork, on Monday night have been named locally as Michael and Ann O'Sullivan. The bodies of the couple were found at about 5pm yesterday after a relative called to their property in the village. He found himself unable to contact the couple and enlisted the help of another man to force the door of the property. Advertisement Gardaí and the emergency services were contacted after the two men found the bodies of the pair near the stairs. A local GP formally pronounced the couple dead, and their bodies were later taken to the morgue at Cork University Hospital for postmortem examinations. There was no evidence of a gas leak. Nor was there anything to suggest they had met their deaths via foul play. The property has been technically examined as gardaí attempt to determine what caused their deaths. Gardaí are examining the possibility that the deaths may have occurred as a result of a fall. One of the parties possibly sustained a fall or experienced a medical incident, with the other also being fatally injured while going to their assistance. It is understood that contact was last made with the couple on Sunday evening, so gardaí have established that the deaths occurred at some point after that time. Advertisement Prayers were said for Mr and Mrs O'Sullivan at a mass in the area this morning. The couple were described as being 'very quiet people' who were respected in the village, which is located east of Cork city. The results of the postmortem examinations will determine the course of the Garda investigation. However, the deaths are being treated as a tragedy. Funeral arrangements will be finalised in the coming days. An inquest will be held at a later date.

Council unaware of other next of kin when it granted exhumation of man's remains, court hears
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council was unaware a woman had other living siblings when it permitted her to exhume her father's remains, the High Court has heard. Charlotte Farrell-Quin purportedly did not disclose to the council that she was one of five living children of the late Gerard Farrell when she sought permission to exhume his remains from Deansgrange Cemetery last November, Ms Farrell-Quin's brother, Paschal Farrell, says in a High Court action. Advertisement In proceedings brought against the local authority, Mr Farrell said that he, along with other siblings, were not made aware of his sister's application for exhumation to the council. They were further unaware of the subsequent exhumation of Gerard's remains and reinterment at a cemetery in Ashford, Co Wicklow, where Ms Farrell-Quin resides. Mr Farrell, of Millers Wood, Bray, Co Wicklow, said that had he been aware of his sister's application to exhume their father's remains, he would have objected 'in the strongest possible terms'. In certain circumstances, permission for exhumation of human remains is granted by local authorities in the form of an exhumation licence. Advertisement Mr Farrell was given permission to bring his judicial review proceedings in April, seeking to quash the council's decision to grant an exhumation licence to Ms Farrell-Quin, among other reliefs. Ms Farrell-Quin is a notice party to the proceedings. Ireland Child sexual abuse trial of mother, uncle and fami... Read More On Tuesday, updating Ms Justice Mary Rose Gearty on the case, Mr Farrell's barrister, Brendan Hennessy, said the council's position is that it was only aware of one of Gerard's children, Ms Farrell-Quin, when granting the exhumation licence. Mr Hennessy, instructed by Benville Robinson solicitors, said there was some urgency to the case. Ms Justice Gearty said it was possible the case would be assigned a hearing date in December or January. The judge adjourned the case to next month. Gerard Farrell died in August 2009, aged 77. He was initially buried at a family plot in Deansgrange Cemetery, where at least three generations of his family are also interred, Mr Farrell said in his court documents.
