‘Sharon one of nicest people you could meet’

VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT OF P J HOWARD

“My two sons, Robert and Niall, got an invitation from the gardaí on October 15, 2008, to make a victim impact statement but at no stage was that courtesy extended to me, even though they have my telephone numbers.

“I have known Sharon Collins for approximately nine years. During that time she had made a good home for us all and we were extremely happy together and got on very well. Sharon has a very positive outlook on life and she was very loving and giving of her time to our extended families. Sharon always kept an even keel and I have never known her to do anything drastic over those years. She is a very straightforward and honest person and if she wanted anything, she would ask.
