Watch: Tributes to ‘amazing’ Aoibhe on her sudden death days after meeting idol Ed Sheeran

Tributes have been paid to a brave little girl who has died suddenly just days after meeting her idol, pop star Ed Sheeran.

Aoibhe O’Connor, aged 11, from Mogeely in East Cork, passed away unexpectedly at home on Wednesday. It is understood she suffered cardiac arrest after a minor fall.

Aoibhe, who was a pupil at Inch National School, had an ultra-rare genetic condition called mucolipidosis. She was understood to have been the only person in Ireland with the life-limiting condition.
