Funeral of Ashling Murphy taking place this morning

 

The funeral of murdered school teacher Ashling Murphy is taking place in Co Offaly this morning.

It’s being held in Mountbolus at 11 o’clock – when schools across Ireland will also hold a minute’s silence.

The 23-year-old was killed while running along the Grand Canal, near Tullamore, last Wednesday afternoon.

Micheál Cunningham’s 22-year-old daughter, Ciara Campbell, was murdered in Co Carlow in 2007.

He says there are similarities between the two cases.
