A vigil will be held in Dublin this evening in memory of a Laois woman who passed away while sleeping rough in Dublin.
Ann Delaney, 47, from Crettyard, was very well known and liked in Dublin and tributes have poured in on social media following news of her passing.
She is the beloved daughter of Mary and the late Tom Delaney and mother to Saoirse.
Ann is sadly missed by her loving daughter, mother, brothers Thomas, John, Ciaran and Paul, sisters Siobhán, Tricia, Roisin and Emer, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, relatives and a wide circle of friends.
Ann was found on Sunday near Tesco on Aungier Street, an area she was well known to frequent.
Candles, cards and flowers have been left at the spot, with groups of people stopping by to remember Ann throughout the day.
Liberty Soup Run, a non-profit community group, are holding a small vigil for Ann on Aungier Street tonight.
From 8pm the charity will be letting off balloons and playing some of Ann’s favourite songs.
They said: “Heart broken … still can’t believe that you passed away Ann.
“Guys, Liberty Soup Run will be down where Ann passed away at 8pm today.
“We will be letting off balloons and playing a couple of Ann’s songs that she loved. We would like you join us to say goodbye.”
May Ann Rest in Peace.
