SDLP Group Leader Councillor Brian Tierney

SDLP Group Leader councillor Brian Tierney has said the community in Galliagh is devastated by the loss of Rebecca Browne.

The 21-year-old tragically died in the early hours of Sunday in Co Donegal after she was struck by a Garda patrol car.

Councillor Tierney visited the Browne family on Monday to offer his condolences.

Said Cllr Tierney: “I have known Rebecca and the Browne family for many years and they are absolutely devastated by her loss which has touched the entire community here in Galliagh.

“I know everyone will rally around the family in the difficult weeks and months ahead and support them in any way they can.

“Rebecca was a lovely young woman. She was bubby, outgoing and popular and the heart and soul of her family.

“I visited them today to let them know that we are all thinking of them after their tragic loss.

“The Browne family have asked me to convey a request for privacy to the media as they come to terms with what’s happened and I know they would greatly appreciate it if they are given the space they need to grieve.”
