Woman, 47, found dead in Waterford house allegedly beaten to death as man, 30s, to be brought before court over murder
A WOMAN whose body was found in a house in Waterford city on Friday morning is understood to have been beaten to death.
A man, aged in his thirties, will appear before a special sitting of Gorey District Court at 8pm tonight charged with the murder of Gillian Curran.
The 47-year-old woman, originally from Tramore, County Waterford, has been named locally and is understood to have been staying in the house on O’Brien Street where her body was found.
It’s understood Gardai were alerted at 10am by a man known to the deceased, who told them she had died accidentally.
However when paramedics and Gardai arrived at the terraced house suspicions were aroused by the injuries evident on the body, which are believed to have been consistent with an assault.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ms Curran is understood to have had addiction problems and in recent years led a life that was a far cry from over 20 years ago when she studied law in UCC.
A 34-year-old man, with whom the dead woman was friendly, was arrested on suspicion of assault causing harm shortly after Gardai and ambulance personnel found Ms Curran’s body.
He is due to appear before a special sitting of Gorey District Court this evening at 8pm, Sunday, 26th January 2025
While Gardai are not releasing the results of the postmortem for technical and investigative reasons, it’s understood the deceased suffered injuries consistent with a prolonged assault.
Ms Curran did not live at the house, located on O’Brien Street, in the old part of the city.
The arrested man is believed to be a foreign national, who has been living in Waterford for some time.
The man was arrested at the scene after the discovery of the body.
The house was sealed off after 10am and remained closed for members of the Garda Technical Bureau to arrive to carry out a full forensic examination of the scene.
The street is located in a quiet and old part of Waterford city, with some families living there for years but others have moved in and rented in more recent times.
WITNESS APPEAL
A Garda statement said: “Gardai are investigating the death of a woman in her 40s following an incident in Waterford City on Saturday, January 25th, 2025.
“Shortly after 10am, Gardai and emergency services responded to an incident at a residence on O’Brien Street, Waterford, where the woman was found unresponsive. She was pronounced deceased at the scene a short time later.
“A man in his 30s was subsequently arrested in connection with the incident. He is currently detained at a Garda station in the Eastern Region under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, on suspicion of an offence under the Non-Fatal Offenses Against the Person Act.”
It added: “A senior investigating officer has been appointed to lead the investigation and an incident room has been established at Waterford Garda Station.
“A family liaison officer has also been assigned to support the family”.
Gardai are appealing for witnesses to contact them and are seeking any available camera footage, including dashcam recordings, from those who were in the vicinity of O’Brien Street at the time of the incident.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Waterford Garda Station on 051 305322 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.

‘No plans’ to scrap controversial tax as 1.1m Irish confirmed to be EXEMPT from levy & Jack Chambers reveals 3 changes
THE new Government has no plans to get rid of the hated Universal Social Charge tax — as we’d have to stump up €5.7billion to replace it.
Minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chambers said the controversial USC, introduced in 2011 to save the banks and replace then-health and income levies, won’t be axed.
Deputy Chambers said: “The primary purpose of the USC was to widen the tax base and to provide a steady income to the Exchequer to provide funding for public services.
“The USC is an individualised tax, meaning a person’s liability to the tax is determined on the basis of a person’s own individual income and personal circumstances.”
He added: “The USC has played a vital role in meeting the many expenditure demands placed on the Exchequer.
“The USC yield was €5.7billion in 2024, and a projected yield of €5.7billion is expected in 2025.
“If USC were to be abolished it would be necessary to raise this amount from other sources.”
The minister said individuals with income of less than €13,000 per annum are currently exempt from the tax.
USC does also not apply to social welfare payments, such as the contributory and non-contributory State pensions.
This year alone, it is estimated that 1.1million taxpayer units — 33 per cent — will be exempt from paying USC.
Mr Chambers added: “Ireland has one of the most progressive personal income tax systems in the world, which plays a crucial role in the process of income redistribution.
“It is my view that a broad based progressive tax system, where the majority of income earners make some contribution but according to their means, is the most fair and sustainable income tax system in the long term.
“As such I have no plans to abolish the USC.”
He was responding to a parliamentary question from Fine Gael Dun Laoghaire TD Barry Ward, who asked if they were going to abolish USC and if there was a timeline for it.
Fine Gael had promised to make changes to the three per cent USC entry point in the recent General Election and increase it from over €27,000 to €40,000.

“I’m not lying. This isn’t a joke, I’m not hallucinating… three heads came up on my iPhone. Please believe me.”
While Curtis laughed Ekin-Su looked very serious and repeated: “I’m not joking.”
