Galway Bay fm newsroom - The woman who died in a house fire in Clifden has been named locally as Teresa Coohill.
Emergency services attended the scene of the blaze at a housing estate at Tullyvoheen around 7 o' clock last Friday evening.
Teresa Coohill's body was discovered upstairs at the property in Clifden.
She was in her 40s and originally from the Claddaghduff area and is survived by her two children and her parents.
It's not the first time that tragedy has struck the Coohill family as Teresa Coohill's two brothers died in separate fishing accidents off the coasts of Galway and Donegal over the past two decades.
Two more brothers died at a relatively young age in England and Teresa tragically lost her own teenage daughter several years ago.
The communities in Claddaghduff and Clifden are trying to come to terms with the tragedy which has shaken the local area.
