A sombre vigil has been held in a Laois town, in solidarity with a local woman who died after being attacked in her home.
Some 50 people including Laois Gardaí and staff of Laois Domestic Abuse Service joined others to mourn the late Adina Raluca Constantin in the memorial garden in Portlaoise on Friday, July 18.
Remembering Adina Raluca for her smile, and sympathising with her family, speakers also stressed the need for more awareness of the supports in Laois for sufferers of domestic abuse.
Photos of the event were taken by Renata Metelicka for Laois Live / Leinster Express, printed with full report in this week’s issue.
