Gardaí have issued an appeal for witnesses after a 61-year-old woman was killed in a crash in Co Cork on Monday.
The woman has been named locally as Veronica Hoen, who was known for her work in arts education with the Irish Prison Service.
In 2016, she curated “Project 16: Studying the Rising”, which was exhibited at Mountjoy Prison in Dublin.
President Michael D Higgins praised Ms Hoen at the opening of the exhibition. He spoke of her diligent curation of the “beautiful creations” produced by the inmates of Irish prisons as a means to commemorate the Easter Rising of 1916.
Ms Hoen lived in Glanmire. In a tribute on the Glanmire Noticeboard page, she is described as having been “a bubbly, friendly, lovely lady who will be missed by many”.
The single-vehicle collision happened in the Dunkettle Ballinglanna area of Glanmire at approximately 1.50pm on Monday. Ms Hoen was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The road was closed for a time to facilitate technical examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators, but it has since reopened to traffic.
Investigating gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this collision to contact them.
Any road users with camera footage who were travelling in the area between 1.30pm and 2.10pm on Monday are asked to make this footage available.
Anyone with information should contact Mayfield Garda Station on 021 4558510 the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
