The family of tragic nurse Mary Ellen Molloy are hoping to have her home for her funeral in the coming week. Mary Ellen was killed, another one of her friends was injured and a third escaped with injury. Her family have been trying desperately to get her home to give her a dignified funeral back in her native Donegal where she grew up. Family friend and Donegal TD Pat 'The Cope' Gallagher has been co-ordinating the arrangements to bring back Mary Ellen from Australia. "We cannot give a definite date but we are hopeful Mary Ellen will be back with her family in the coming days," Deputy Gallagher said.
