Local councillors have been paying tribute to a Carrickmacross woman and Monaghan County Council staff member who died suddenly last month.
Helen Martin is predeceased by her husband, Garda Adrian Martin, who died during a family holiday in 2011 when he fell from a cliff edge in Co Clare.
At a recent Carrickmacross-Castleblayney MD meeting, Councillor Colm Carthy said Adrian's death "sent shockwaves through the town", and added that news of Helen's passing "has dumbfounded and saddened" Carrickmacross.

Director of Services, Paul Clifford, hailed Helen as "the most pleasant, courteous, and kind woman you could meet" and all councillors extended their sympathies and condolences to her family.
