Second victim fighting for life

THE boyfriend of a woman in a critical condition following a suspected gas or fumes leak at a well-known Kinsale hotel was last night keeping a bedside vigil along with her family.

Patricia Reidy is a sister of Miriam Reidy, who died in the accident at the Trident hotel in Kinsale.

The two were sharing a room and the alarm was raised at lunchtime yesterday when the women — part of a hen party — failed to check out.
