Scarlett, who was 28 years old and from Limerick, tragically succumbed to severe injuries sustained in a brutal roadside attack near Birdhill on March 21. Following a three-week battle at Cork University Hospital, she passed away on April 13, as confirmed by her family.
During Scarlett’s funeral, her sister Victoria Faulkner paid a touching tribute, highlighting Scarlett’s role as a beloved daughter, sister, and mother to her daughter, Oceanna. Scarlett, a respected member of a Traveller family in Limerick county, was the victim of a vicious assault by a group wielding weapons on the R494 road.
Investigations into the attack are ongoing, with two individuals, a woman, and a 16-year-old girl, facing charges related to the assault. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and authorities are exploring various theories, including the possibility of a targeted ramming incident. Gardai are appealing for any information that could assist in the investigation.
