Post mortems are expected to be completed tonight on a woman and her two children who died in a drowning incident in Co Cork over the Bank holiday weekend.

The dead woman has been named as Ita Noonan (49), a secretary at Fermoy Garda Station, Co Cork.

She recently moved from Freemount, Charleville, Co Cork, to Castletownroche with her son, David (23), and daughter, Emma (21), a student.

The three are believed drowned after they got into difficulties during a lunchtime swim in a tributary of the River Blackwater at Awbeg, Castletownroche, near Mallow.
