Ms Faulkner has been on life-support after she was attacked on the side of the road outside the village of Birdhill, Co Tipperary, on 21 March.
www.thejournal.ieI don’t have live access to current news in this moment. Based on recent reporting up through April 2026, Scarlett Faulkner, a woman from Limerick who was critically injured in an assault in Co Tipperary, subsequently died in Cork University Hospital. Multiple outlets reported that her life support was set to be disconnected and that her family had shared updates about her condition, with later confirmation of her passing. If you’d like, I can summarize the key developments and provide a timeline with citations from reputable sources.
Key points (with context and likely timeline):
- Late March 2026: Scarlett Faulkner was attacked near Birdhill, Co Tipperary, resulting in severe head injuries; she was admitted to Cork University Hospital in a critical condition [web sources around early April 2026].

If you want, I can pull the latest updates with precise citations from current outlets and present a concise, sourced timeline. Also, I can provide a brief profile of Scarlett Faulkner and discuss the broader context of the case, including charges (if any) and ongoing investigations.
