A pest controller forced entry to Joyce O'Mahony's house, believing it to be derelict.
A woman who lay dead in her home for at least six months had not been seen in two years, an inquest has heard.
The court also heard how the 57-year-old had rebuffed "countless attempts" from family to help her out. Gerard O'Connor, Joyce's next-door neighbour, said: “I’d see her the odd night going to Supervalu. You would never see her during the day.” The deceased had given him a key years earlier for emergencies, but later took it back after her mother died. Mr O'Connor said that had been his last contact with Joyce. "Covid came and then you wouldn’t see anyone. I was still working then. I did shift work,” he said.
“We made attempts to reach out to her , through 'on spec' calls to the house and with notes under the front door, but again to no avail. When our mother died, during the height of Covid-19, we kept Joyce informed of the funeral arrangements and offered to arrange transport so that she could attend. She didn't engage and didn't attend.
