Ireland woke up on a Saturday morning to the news of an appalling incident, the violent death of Ms. Deepa Dinamani, which sent shockwaves through the entire community in Cork. An Indian citizen who came here for a livelihood and to support her child, she met a tragic death.

The Indian community in Cork has joined hands to support the late Ms. Deepa’s family in the repatriation of her body, and her son. As a community, it is our utmost priority to send both of them together safely to India. Considering her son’s welfare, it is important that he is sent back to his family in India. His caring grandparents, uncle and the extended family are eagerly awaiting his safe return. The mental well-being of her son and his current emotional state is of utmost concern. His bonding with his grandparents has to be ensured as soon as possible and it is the utmost priority. The late Ms. Deepa, being a Hindu, would have always wished her son to perform the last rites as per their Hindu religion in her home country, India, and the other rituals associated with this.

Hence, we request all of you to support this noble cause that involves:

1. Repatriation of the son to his family back in India and to lawfully perform the last rites of his mother and also for his future.

2. Repatriation of the deceased with her son and her brother who will be joining from India.
