Kind acts help Berkeley victims and their families

A statement on behalf of the families of four of the survivors of last month’s Berkeley balcony collapse, has thanked all who have helped the injured college students, and paid tribute to those who lost their lives.

The release by the families of Aoife Beary, Clodagh Cogley, Hannah Waters, and Niall Murray thanked officials on both sides of the Atlantic, and well-wishers, donors, and medical staff in California.

It read: “As traumatic and difficult as the past five weeks have been for Aoife, Clodagh, Hannah, and Niall, our constant thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families and friends of Eimear Walsh, Ashley Donohue, Olivia Burke, Niccolai Schuster, Lorcán Miller and Eoghan Culligan. May they rest in peace.
