They survived a wartime bombing raid and retired to the same rural village after a lifetime of nursing.

Even when there was an ocean between them, Kathleen and Sheila Keogan were "inseparable", according to their family.
The twins, from Aughalion in Co Cavan, were 95 years old when they passed away within two days of each other last week in the same nursing home.

Nephew Damien Keogan said the women had always had a close bond - but even the family found it remarkable that they died so close together.
