A mother of three who worked as a hairdresser lost her life in a tragic road accident while she was at a wedding in the Dominican Republic.
She has been named as Claire Cullen, from Riverchapel, Gorey, and is being remembered as a kind, talented hairdresser and devoted mother of three.
She is known locally as an accomplished hairdresser with her own home salon called Eden Hair Design.
Claire will be sadly missed by her husband Ronan, her three children and her extended family and friends.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that consular assistance is being provided to her family.
Paying tribute on Facebook, Ronan explained that he would be stepping back from his successful flooring business to spend time with his family during this challenging time.
“My beautiful wife Claire was tragically killed in an accident. We’re all devastated and trying to come to terms with it. She was my everything and I adored everything about her,” he said.
