Vigils are to be held in the city over the coming days for a young woman who died after she was attacked at a soup kitchen on Patrick Street at the weekend

36 year-old Vanessa Callaghan died at Cork University Hospital yesterday from injuries she sustained in the assault on Sunday night

Her body has been transferred to the morgue at the hospital and a post mortem is due to take place later which will help to determine the course of the garda investigation into her death

Speaking on the Neil Prendeville Show Roslyn Barrett from the Kindness Krew - who performed CPR on Vanessa on Sunday night - says her death has plunged them all into sadness

"The seven of us at The Kindness Krew are all heart broken. None of us are any the better of it, to be honest. I am just thinking of her mother, her sisters and brothers and her children. It's just so sad that her Mom has to go and pick out a coffin and arrange her funeral"
