Couple were ‘resigned to death’ on liner

IT should have been a trip to remember — but not for the reasons Seamus and Carol Moore will always recall their Mediterranean cruise.

As they arrived back in Dublin yesterday to an emotional reunion with family and friends, the discovery of more bodies on board the stricken Costa Concordia made the story of the Clonmel couple’s escape all the more remarkable.

The Moores, who booked the cruise to celebrate Carol’s 50th birthday, said they were relieved to be home, but the trauma of the previous 48 hours told on their faces.
