Tribute to TCD Graduates – Air France Tragedy

Posted on: 04 June 2009

The College community, and in particular the staff and students of the School of Medicine,  extend  their  deepest sympathies to the families of Aisling Butler, Jane Deasy and Eithne Walls at this most difficult time. The loss of such young, vibrant and promising women at the outset of their careers in medicine and in such tragic circumstances has stunned the College from which they so recently graduated. Our thoughts are with the families and their former classmates.

Books of Condolences are located in the Enquiries Office, Front Square, Trinity College Dublin. I understand that many of you based both here in Ireland and abroad have been deeply shocked by this tragic incident and you would like to communicate a message of sympathy directly to the Butler, Deasy and Walls families. The School of Medicine will facilitate this on your behalf – please e-mail mednews@tcd.ie and your message will be forwarded on.

Dr John Hegarty,
Provost
