The family of Ashling Murphy said they have received an “overwhelming” response to a fund launched in her memory on Friday.
Primary school teacher Ashling, 23, died on January 12, 2022, after an alleged attack while she was out for a run on the banks of the canal in Tullamore, Co Offaly.
Her grieving family chose the date of January 6 – Nollaig na mBan – for the launch of the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund to honour her legacy.
