A woman who died in a fire in County Leitrim yesterday has been named as Deirdre Finn.

She was a member of An Garda Síochána based in Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin.

She died following a fire on a boat at the Marina in Carrick-On-Shannon.

Her body has been moved to Sligo University Hospital Mortuary for a post-mortem.

She was off duty when the tragedy happened.

The head of the Garda Representative Association has described her death as devastating.

Brendan O'Connor said rank and file members are shocked:

"Colleagues of every rank and every corner of the country knew Dee and it was difficult for members who attended the scene yesterday because she was just so well known".
