Long recovery ahead for Berkeley survivor Aoife

Aoife was celebrating her 21st birthday with around 40 other people in the apartment at Library Gardens when the accident happened. The student from Blackrock, Co Dublin, was one of seven injured in the tragedy that claimed six young lives on June 16. A serious head injury remains her main concern.
The Beary family have posted an update of Aoife’s progress on a Facebook page called Friends of Aoife Beary. The family wrote that Aoife’s condition had stabilised following successful heart surgery at the Stanford Medical Centre in Palo Alto on June 26. “She remains in a critical condition. A serious head injury remains her main concern,” they said.
