Financial pressure led businessman to take his life, wife tells inquest

A devoted father who was under huge financial pressure after losing his business took his own life, an inquest heard yesterday.

Respected businessman and father of four, Kieran Mulcahy, aged 45, from Maryborough in Douglas, Cork, ran a successful industrial painting business in the city.

However, his widow, Rose, told Cork City Coroner’s Court that he found it “very difficult” when he lost the business, that he missed his colleagues, and found it hard to start again.
