Among the six  students killed when a fourth story balcony gave way at Library Gardens Apartments in Berkeley, Calif., or Tuesday, June 16, was Irish-American student Ashley Donohue of Rohnert Park, Calif. who held dual citizenship in the U.S. and Ireland. The other students, all 21 years old,  were from Ireland in the U.S. on short-term work visas. Donohue was 22.
