Family's fund in memory of Ashling Murphy to be launched

The Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund, set up by the Murphy family and the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund executive committee, will be officially launched today, Friday January 6 (Nollaig na mBan).

With the first anniversary of Ashling’s tragic passing approaching, the family and committee feel it is fitting to launch the memorial fund in memory of a beautiful, talented and exceptional young lady, who will forever be 23 and will never be forgotten! Ashling’s tragic loss touched the hearts of many. She left a strong legacy behind her and will always be remembered for the music, sport, education, culture and heritage that she was involved in during her short life. The Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund will be officially launched on Facebook and Instagram platforms, while the official fundraising page can be visited and supported at the following link.

In a statement, the commitee requested continued privacy and respect for the Murphy family, Ashling’s partner Ryan, Durrow NS and all other individuals, groups and organisations that Ashling had a special connection with, as they continue to grieve her tragic loss and remember a very special young lady on her first anniversary.
