Irish Army member found dead at Curragh Camp


A member of the Irish Army has been found dead at the Curragh Camp in County Kildare.

32-year-old Corporal Terry Smyth was found unresponsive by his colleagues last night.

A native of Kildare, the father of two, had served with the Defence Forces for 13 years, including a number of peacekeeping missions overseas in Lebanon and Syria.

The Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, Lieutenant General Seán Clancy, says they’ve lost a great colleague and friend, and he’s extending deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
