Remains of Berkeley victim Olivia Burke to arrive home today

The remains of Olivia Burke are due to arrive home in Ireland from the US this morning.

The 21-year-old is the last of the Irish students killed in last week's balcony collapse in California to be repatriated.

The bodies of four other young people were returned to Ireland yesterday and were met by the Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan before being led from Dublin Airport by a Garda escort.

Family and friends of Olivia and her 22-year-old Irish-American cousin Ashley Donohoe, who also lost her life, attended a joint funeral for the pair in California on Saturday evening.
