Meanwhile, a page set up to help with repatriation and funeral expenses for Danielle McLaughlin has exceeded its target in under 24 hours.

A friend of Ms McLaughlin, who was from Buncrana in Co Donegal, set up a 'Go Fund Me' page with a target of €10,000.

But it has raised almost €35,000 in under one day.
