Miriam’s last text: ‘We’re feeling a bit sick’

THE woman who died after celebrating a hen party night in Kinsale sent a text message to a friend, hours before her death, complaining she and her sister were feeling sick.

Miriam Reidy, 35, and her older sister, Patricia, had gone to bed at 1am on Sunday at the Trident Hotel, where a suspected gas leak took place, while the remainder of the 30-strong hen group partied the night away at one of the bustling Co Cork town’s nightclubs.

At 4.25am, feeling unwell and unable to sleep, Miriam sent a message from her mobile phone to another member of the hen party, saying: “How are you feeling? We’re feeling a bit sick.”
