Fianna Fáil Councillor for Meath East Stephen McKee says it's shocking for everyone in the community.
"We have a growing population and a growing community in the area," he added.
"We have a lot of families who have moved recently into the area.

"But it is a tight knit community here in east Meath and the coastal area - and this makes it all the more shocking.
"As far as I know, this is not a suspicious incident."
