Doctor saw ‘gas’ victim in hotel room

Miriam Reidy, 35, from Ballyhahill in west Limerick, who was staying at the Trident Hotel in Kinsale while on a hen party, sent a text to a friend in the early hours of Sunday morning saying she felt sick. She was seen by a doctor at around 5.30am and is understood to have been prescribed tablets for a stomach bug. She was found dying in the room less than eight hours later, with her sister, Patricia, seriously ill beside her.

Gardaí are also investigating if there is a link between that doctor’s visit and an earlier visit by a doctor to a couple staying in a room above the Reidys at around 11pm on Saturday.
