The Chaplin of Mary Immaculate College says counselling services will be available to students affected by the untimely and tragic death of Ashling Murphy.
The 23 year-old-teacher, who graduated from the Limerick college just three months ago, was attacked while jogging along the canal in Tullamore, Co. Offaly around 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon.
A murder investigation is underway and a 40 year old man, who’s known to Gardai over a number of previous offences, is being questioned.
President of Mary Immaculate College, Professor Eugene Wall has described Ashling as a talented musician and performer, who’d just begun her teaching career, when her young and promising life was cruelly snatched away from her.
College Chaplin, Fr Mick Wall has been telling Clare FM’s Fiona Cahill that the entire college community is in shock.
