Det Garda Deirdre Finn, a highly respected garda based in south Dublin, was killed in blaze in Co Leitrim
“Gardaí assisted emergency services following reports of a fire on a boat in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co Leitrim,” Garda Headquarters said in response to queries about the incident. “One female has been confirmed deceased. Investigations are ongoing.”
The scene of the blaze remained sealed-off on Monday as the evidence-gathering process was continuing. Both the Garda and the Marine Casualty Investigation Board were expected to have a role in establishing the cause of the fatal fire. Cllr Sean McGowan , who represents Carrick-on-Shannon municipal district, said the fire had resulted in shock and sadness in the area, adding the blaze was “most unusual” and had happened in an area where hundreds of boats sailed daily. “My thoughts and sympathies are with the deceased’s family,” he said. “It’s a terrible tragedy to happen; someone on a bank holiday weekend, down enjoying themselves.
