‘People are asking me what do I need... All I want to do is just see my daughter’

Wiping away tears, Linda Dinsberga spoke movingly about 8-year-old Paula, who was killed in a farm accident on a rented farm at Rusheen, Newtownshandrum, outside Charleville, Co Cork, on Sunday.

She described her beloved daughter, the eldest of four children, as a "bright, intelligent, popular girl".

There were heartbreaking scenes at the Dinsberga home in Limerick yesterday afternoon as shocked friends and relatives visited to offer their condolences.
