After giving birth, Ms Keogh (30) was transferred from South Tipperary General Hospital to University Hospital Waterford on Friday, December 20th. Hundreds turned out for the funeral at St Nicholas’ Church in Ms Keogh’s native Grange, Co Tipperary, near Clonmel, on Friday afternoon. Parish priest Fr Bobby Power, who presided, said “grief, shock and unfairness” had met Ms Keogh’s family and friends. “Basically, the rest of us were useless,” Ms Slattery told mourners to laughter. Speaking to The Irish Times following the ceremony, Mayor of Clonmel Cllr Garret Ahearn, who is from the village, said Ms Keogh’s untimely death had shaken the area.
