I notice that the flowers are changed around her birthday - 28/12. She would have been 39 this week, 20 years since she died. She is now dead for longer than she lived, and somebody's heart is still breaking. From all such tragedy, deliver us.
\does anyone know any more about the student who fell to her death on October 12th 1990?
UCD Student, do you have a year or any more info for the "mid 1990s.." story?
Dunk, thanks for the links.

In the mid-1990's a young female student drunkenly wandered through a building site on campus, fell and was impaled to death on steel reinforcement rods.
On the bridge at the entrance to UCD there is a memorial plaque to a girl named Julia "Blithe Spirit" who fell to her death aged 19 in 1990.
