Irish student tragedy

Original post made by whatever, Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park, on Jun 18, 2015

Regarding the Irish students who died and were injured in the Berkeley balcony failure.

Has anyone from the MP City Council sent condolences to the current Mayor of Galway. There is a friendship agreement between Galway and Menlo Park and the then mayor of Galwaway visited in March.?

The current Mayor of Galway said he "tragedy in Berkeley had stopped people in their tracks and led to a huge sense of sadness." Frank Fahy was speaking after he opened a book of condolence at Galway City Hall for the victims of the balcony collapse. He said there were 25,000 students in Galway and the city had a special bond with those in third level education as a result. Web Link

Has the Mayor sent the City of Galway a condolences letter? Someone should let her know about this tragedy.
