UCC meningitis victim Grainne laid to rest

The funeral took place in Cahir, Co Tipperary, yesterday of a 20-year-old student who died suddenly of meningitis.

Grainne O’Donnell, an Arts student at University College Cork, passed away at Cork University Hospital last Thursday.

Instead of flowers, her family asked for donations, to the Hope Foundation, the charity in Calcutta, India where she volunteered during her summer holidays.
