Tributes Paid Following Discovery of Missing Midwife’s Body in Tipperary

27/12/2025

Tributes have been paid to midwife and mother of four, Grace Aseidua Benyin, whose body was discovered in County Tipperary, one month after she was reported missing.

The 36-year-old, a native of Ghana, was last seen in Clonmel on the morning of November 21st. Her body was found on Monday by a member of the public in countryside near the Holy Year Cross, around four kilometres south of Clonmel.

A post-mortem examination was carried out at University Hospital Waterford by State Pathologist Dr Heidi Okkers. Gardaí have confirmed that Grace’s death is not being treated as suspicious and is being described as a personal tragedy.

Tributes highlight her warmth, generosity, and strong sense of service, noting that in the Ghanaian tradition, she was “a mother to many and a sister to all.”

The family and community in their tributes on Facebook described her as a devoted mother, loving wife, compassionate midwife, and a pillar of her community.

A vigil in Grace Benyin’s memory will be announced in due course. The family has asked for privacy as they grieve.

Grace is being remembered for her kindness, strength, and love, with the community encouraged to honour her legacy through compassion and unity.

SUPPORT MAREK — GOCOM VOLUNTEER & EMERGING FILMMAKER

12/12/2025

At GOCOM Radio, we are always proud to support young creatives — especially those using their talents to highlight real social issues affecting our communities.

Our volunteer Marek Olszewski .cinematic a final-year Film & Documentary student at ATU Galway, is crowdfunding his short film Dreams of My Father — inspired by his own journey and the experiences of many migrants in Ireland.

Set in Galway, the film follows Bartek, a young migrant facing job loss, eviction, racism and homelessness while trying to fulfil his late father’s dream. It’s a moving, visually striking story about grief, love, survival, hope and belonging.

Marek is independently producing the film and needs €1,500 to cover cast, crew, equipment, meals, transport and festival submissions.

Every donation brings this important story one step closer to the screen.

Let’s uplift our own and help a talented young filmmaker share a story that truly matters.

Galway City Launches First Local Community Safety Partnership Meeting

04/12/2025

Galway City reached an important milestone on Wednesday, 26 November, with the inaugural meeting of the Galway City Local Community Safety Partnership (LCSP), established under the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024.

The new partnership brings together Galway City Council, An Garda Síochána, the HSE, Tusla, community groups, and local residents to strengthen safety and wellbeing across the city through collaborative and evidence-based approaches.

At the first meeting, members elected Cllr. Níall McNelis as Chairperson and Tommy Flaherty as Vice Chairperson. The Partnership also agreed its key operational documents and set out plans for the establishment of subcommittees.

Several priority issues were raised during the session, including youth engagement, domestic and gender-based violence, supports for marginalised communities, and broader urban safety concerns.

The LCSP will lead the development of Galway’s Community Safety Plan, ensuring that local voices shape practical, inclusive solutions for the city.

The next meeting is scheduled for 21 January 2026.
