Scarlett Faulkner, 28, from Limerick, had been in critical condition at Cork University Hospital for three weeks following a vicious assault on the R494 near Birdhill on March 21. Tragically, she passed away on April 13, as confirmed by her family who had maintained a constant vigil by her side.
During Scarlett’s funeral, her sister, Victoria Faulkner, paid a touching tribute, describing her as a beloved daughter, sister, and mother to her daughter Oceanna. Victoria expressed the irreplaceable void left by Scarlett’s departure but also highlighted the lasting impact she had on everyone she touched.
Scarlett, a well-respected member of a Traveller family in Limerick county, was brutally attacked by a group wielding weapons along the R494 in Birdhill. Two individuals, a woman, and a 16-year-old girl, have been charged in connection with the assault, though the motive behind the heinous attack remains unclear.
Authorities are actively investigating the assault, with theories suggesting that Scarlett may have been targeted while traveling in a car that was rammed by another vehicle. Gardai are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation into this tragic incident.
