Final survivor of the Berkeley balcony collapse returns home

The final survivor of the Berkeley balcony collapse is officially on her way home to Ireland, it has been confirmed.

Hannah Waters, a Dublin City University student from Castleknock, Co Dublin, was seriously injured in the US this summer when a fourth-floor balcony peeled off a building in Berkeley, California, throwing those standing on it to the ground below.

The incident killed six of Hannah’s friends and injured six others. Those who lost their lives were Niccolai Schuster, Eoghan Culligan, Ashley Donohoe, Olivia Burke, Eimear Walsh and Lorcan Miller.
