It is understood the man and woman had not been seen for a number of days.

Gardaí found the bodies inside the house and their deaths are being treated as unexplained. The area has been sealed off and the State Pathologist office has been notified.

Initial inquiries indicate no signs of a break-in or that any foul play was involved in the man and woman's death.

A post mortem is scheduled for later today and this will determine the course of the garda investigation.
