Aoife Beary, a survivor of the Berkeley Balcony collapse, was a person who “embraced life and all of its possibilities,” mourners at her Funeral Mass heard.

Ms Beary, 27, who survived the tragedy which claimed the lives of six of her friends in the US six years ago, passed away on New Year’s Day at Beaumont Hospital after suffering a stroke three days earlier.
