Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council paid tribute to Berkeley survivor Aoife Beary during their monthly meeting on Monday.
Aoife, from Blackrock, was left with life-changing injuries to her brain and organs after the accident in 2015. She passed away in Beaumont Hospital in Dublin on New Year’s Day after suffering a stroke.
Her funeral service was held last Friday in Foxrock where she was remembered as a 'vibrant and brave' woman who 'didn't let the accident define her'.
During Monday's meeting, Councillor John Kennedy requested Aoife's passing to be acknowledged by the Council.
He said: "I think we should acknowledge the passing of Aoife Beary, the Berkeley balcony survivor who passed away. I understand she lived in the Blackrock area and also has strong associations with Foxrock and also Cuala GAA so I think we should mark her passing and send our condolences to her family."
Cathaoirleach Lettie McCarthy said: "Of course it was very sad. A young lady who came back from that accident showing amazing strength and resilience and it is heartbreaking for her family and her friends."
Councillors held a minutes silence to mark Aoife's passing.
