Sympathies pour in for the family of Karen Buckley
People across the city and county have been expressing their sympathies to the family of murdered Mourneabbey student Karen Buckley. Books of condolence were opened yesterday in Cork County Hall and at civic offices across North Cork. Karen’s parents John and Marian flew back to their home over the weekend to begin the preparations for Karen’s funeral.
