The country is still reeling over the tragic loss of Ashling Murphy, the 23-year-old primary school teacher who was murdered in Tullamore on Wednesday.  The National Women’s Council have organised a vigil in Dublin, with many groups following suit. The events are to remember Ashling, mark her death, and stand in solidarity with the women of Ireland. Those attending are encouraged to bring masks, a candle or flowers if they wish, and to maintain social distancing. Here’s a list of some events around the country, but keep an eye on Twitter, as many vigils or events are being added or updated as the day goes on.
