‘Gas’ victim funeral is delayed for ill sister

THE funeral of the woman who died of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning in a Cork hotel is being delayed in the hope her hospitalised sister will be well enough to attend.

Miriam Reidy, 35, from Ballyhahill in west Limerick, died at the Trident Hotel in Kinsale, Co Cork on Sunday while on a hen party weekend away.

Her sister, Patricia, 37, who was sharing the room with her and who was rushed in a critical condition to Cork University Hospital (CUH), is making a steady recovery.
