Woman sues hotel over sister’s carbon monoxide death

A Limerick woman is suing a Kinsale hotel over an incident that killed her sister.

Patricia Russell has instituted High Court proceedings against Trident Bawncross Ltd, the company that operates the Trident Hotel, concerning the suspected gas leak that claimed the life of her sister, Miriam Reidy, 35, and left Ms Russell seriously ill last year.

In turn, the Trident Hotel is also suing the plumbing firm that refurbished a boiler at the hotel.
