We wish to express our condolences to the families of the Irish Students in Berkley who tragically died in the balcony collapse last night."That these young women and men just entering the prime of their lives and offering such hope and promise for the future should be taken from us in this brutal and tragic accident pains our hearts beyond all senses," said Allyn Anderson, Vice President of the Irish Fair Foundation in a statement on behalf of the Board of Directors.
He added that the Irish Fair Foundation is dedicating both the Catholic and Non-denominational Church Services at the Big Irish Fair this coming Sunday to the memory and for the repose of the souls of the Irish Berkley Students.
Mr. Anderson also noted that while no comfort can truly comfort their parents, families and loved ones--they should know that we all are united in sharing their grief and horror at this accident. "How sad...how very sad."
We invite those attending the BIG Irish Fair Sunday to join in these church services,
10:00 am at either the Shamrock Bowl or the Royal Tara Pavilion.
