Elaine O’Hara was ‘trusted, respected, popular’

Elaine O’Hara, the subject of a massive suspicious death investigation, was a “trusted, respected and popular” woman who worked as a childcare assistant, it emerged yesterday.

The 36-year-old was “giving back her time to the community” as a volunteer for the Tall Ships event on the day she was last seen, Aug 22, 2012.

Her partial remains were discovered in undergrowth in a forest in the Dublin Mountains last Friday.
