A mum-of-three has been found dead after her body was tragically pulled from a river.
Amy McAuley, 30, leaves behind her children all under the age of five, including 14-month-old twins Aaliyah and Jayce and her eldest child, four-year-old Brodie.
It was said she "idolised" her three young kids.
The body was found by Gardai shortly before 9am on Friday morning in Dublin.
Brandon Fay, a close family friend, has helped to set up a GoFundMe for her family to help pay for funeral costs and to put any leftover funds to support her three kids.
He told DublinLive : "We as a community would like to help the family raise funds for the funeral of Amy during these hard and difficult times.
You can help raise money for Amy's funeral and to support her children at the GoFundMe page here.
"As a community, we can all pull together and help, nothing is too big or nothing is too small."
He added: "The leftover funds will go towards supporting her children who Amy idolised."
The GoFundMe page has so far raised €1,000 (£850).
The page says: "We are raising money for the sudden tragedy of Amy McAuley. Amy suddenly passed away 09/07/2021 due to a sad tragedy.
