The Taoiseach has called for people to look out for each other as shocked locals have told how they thought the tragic couple found dead in their Tipperary home were abroad.
The couple, in their 70s and originally from the UK, were found dead in their home in the rural village of Cloneen on Monday afternoon after a local man raised concerns as to why there was no sign of activity at the bungalow - despite the couple’s cars being spotted parked at the back of the property.
The local man raised his concerns with a local county councillor, who then in turn contacted gardai to conduct a welfare check.
