A 29-year-old Limerick woman has died after sustaining serious head injuries in an assault last month.<\/p>\n
Scarlett Faulkner was left in a critical condition following the incident, which occurred near the village of Birdhill, Co Tipperary on 21 March.<\/p>\n
She was transferred to Cork University Hospital in the aftermath of the assault, where she was placed on a life support machine.<\/p>\n
Her family announced over the weekend that she had failed to respond to treatment and there had been no change in her condition.<\/p>\n
The mother of one died this afternoon.<\/p>\n
In a post on social media, her sister-in-law said Ms Faulkner had passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family.<\/p>\n
They have thanked the public for their prayers and support.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed say a Family Liaison Officer has been assigned to support her family.<\/p>\n
A 40-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl are before the courts in connection with the incident in Birdhill last month.<\/p>\n
The teenager, who cannot be identified due to her age, is charged with assault causing serious harm to Scarlett Faulkner.<\/p>\n
The woman, who also cannot be named by order of the court, faces four charges, including violent disorder, reckless endangerment, and two counts of burglary.<\/p>\n
Both are due back before Nenagh District Court on 23 April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 29-year-old Limerick woman has died after sustaining serious head injuries in an assault last month.
