In a sombre incident during their journey back from a pleasant holiday at Lisdoonvarna Spa, a group of holiday-makers faced a heart-wrenching tragedy. As they were passing by a circus van, their horse suddenly collapsed, resulting in a violent accident. Two ladies from the party were forcefully thrown out onto the road due to the impact. Unfortunately, one of them, Miss Walsh from Limerick, lost her life in the incident, while the other suffered severe injuries. The homecoming that was supposed to be filled with joy and cherished memories turned into a moment of profound grief and sorrow.
