Karen Buckley: Friends, fellow students, and academic staff mourning for ‘open and bubbly personality’

The university where Karen Buckley began her nursing studies is today honouring the memory of a popular graduate whose “main aim in life was to help people”.

A candle and photograph of the 24-year-old rests on a table in the reception area of the Health Science Building at the University of Limerick from where Karen graduated with a degree in general nursing in January 2014.
