Éanna Hardwicke on The Sixth Commandment: ‘It’s a devastating story. I’m just glad that it reached people’Opening the case on Tuesday, he said Ms Costelloe was with her father around the time of his death in Spain and saw his body over there. Mr Curley flew out to visit the Lanzarote funeral home and saw his father’s body. They made arrangements for repatriating his body to Ireland.
Later that day he was asked to return to the funeral home, and a tag on the body identified that this was a French citizen, Mr Kennedy said. Ms Costelloe said her sister, Ms Curley-Poppe, who had flown to Ireland from her home of Michigan, US, said: “That is not my dad”. Outlining the defence of his clients – Spanish-based Memora Servicios Funerarios Internacionales SL and repatriation service Rowland Brothers International Limited, located in Surrey, England – Micheál Ó Scanaill SC, with Bonnie Hickey BL, said the error was recognised and quickly rectified, enabling the late Mr Curley’s funeral to go ahead as scheduled.
