“He moved to Galway nine years ago, after having lived in Tuam for the past four years. In Galway he met Eoin, where they have been together for almost five years and where Matthew was born in 2017, which gave him so much joy.”

“Karen passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at UCH, Galway. Karen lovingly regrets her partner Eoin and her son Matthew.
