'It made our hearts brighter on hard days knowing how loved our mother was'

The daughter of a woman who vanished after attending a school reunion in Co Cork has said the search effort to recover her mother's body gave the family strength.

The body of mother-of-five Frankie Devlin (67) was recovered in Garryvoe, East Cork, yesterday afternoon. In a Facebook post, her son Killian confirmed that his mother had died following a "tragic accident".
