Father and daughter die in fire tragedy

GARDAÍ have ruled out foul play after a pensioner and his daughter died in a house fire in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Larry Kavanagh, 79, and his daughter Rose Condon, 49, a mother of three, died when fire engulfed their house in Tuam, Co Galway.

The town was in shock yesterday as news of the double tragedy broke, reviving memories of a fire tragedy just a few hundred yards away which claimed a mother and her four young children 25 years ago.
