€370,000 has been donated to a fund providing assistance to families of students killed or injured in the Berkeley tragedy.

The Irish J1 Berkeley ­Tragedy Fund was set up by the Irish Immigration Pastoral Centre in San Francisco following the balcony collapse that killed six students on the 16th of June.

Irish students Eimear Walsh, Lorcan Miller, Eoghan Culligan, Niccolai Schuster, Olivia Burke and Irish-American citizen Ashley Donohoe were killed when the fourth-storey balcony collapsed during a 21st birthday party.

Seven other students were injured, and five are still being treated in hospitals in San Francisco.

Meanwhile, in Dublin students are holding a fundraising concert next week and the money raised will go towards treatment and the modification of the injured students' homes.

The event will take place in the Academy this Thursday and will feature Jape, Mundy and many more acts. 

You can find out more about the concert on Facebook, and tickets can be bought from Ticketmaster.
