Inquest: Cork woman who pioneered Irish Sign Language use died in tragic house fire weeks before its recognition


An elderly woman died in a house fire sparked by a coal fire in her kitchen, an inquest in Cork heard today. She called to Ms Moynihan's home at around 10.30am on November 6 last and did some jobs around the house. But she said she noticed that Ms Moynihan, who walked with the aid of a frame, seemed a bit tired. One of Ms Moynihan's nephews, Declan Donovan, who also called to the house regularly, said he arrived between 6.30pm and 7pm. Chairman of the Cork Deaf Club, Graham O'Shea, said Ms Moynihan had a strong character, and she was great company.
