Berkeley survivor, Clodagh Cogley, returns to university

A survivor of the Berkeley balcony collapse which claimed the lives of six friends in the US has returned to her studies.

Clodagh Cogley was one of seven students who were seriously injured when the balcony they were standing on gave way beneath them as they celebrated the 21st birthday party of Aoife Beary on June 16 in California.

Friends who fundraised to meet the escalating costs of her medical fees have now raised almost €120,000 since the horrific day that changed the lives of so many.
