Locals say the couple haven't been since 2020.
A couple in their 70s may have been dead for up to a year before being discovered yesterday afternoon in Co Tipperary.
Their bodies were found at a house in Cloneen, between Fethard and Mullinahone.
The bodies are understood to have been there for so long that dental records may be required for formal identification.
Some locals have told officers that the couple had not been seen in the locality since 2020.
The indications were that the couple had been dead for a considerable period of time.
While gardaí said there was no indication of any suspicious circumstances, they are ruling nothing in or out at this point.
Detectives are also investigating whether the deaths may have been due to a tragic accident or some medical cause.
