A Dublin councillor said she has been left devasted after her beloved friend died of breast cancer this week.
Fianna Fail's Teresa Costello paid an emotional tribute to childhood friend Fiona Fennel in a heartwarming message. The Tallaght Central councillor, who also runs a breast cancer blog, shared a lovely video montage of their photographs together on social media saying "I am forever broken".
Speaking on Instagram, Cllr Costello said: "It is with complete devastation that I have to let you know the other half of Breast Friends our lovely Fiona is now an angel, we went to school together, we fought breast cancer together we laughed together, she was one of my constant supports in life.
