The Ceilí House Irish pub on Grand Avenue in Maspeth, NY where 41-year-old Longford woman Sarah McNally was attacked
Tributes are being paid to the Longford woman who died following a horrific stabbing attack in New York over Easter.
A spokesperson from the New York Police Department Deputy Commissioner Public Information confirmed the identity of victim of Saturday's incident as 41-year-old Sarah McNally of Queens Street, NY.
Ms McNally was originally from Longford town and she had been living and working in New York for a number of years.
Local councillor Gerry Warnock remembered the deceased as 'a lovely soul'.
He remarked: "My thoughts and prayers are with Dorrie, Dessie and Sarah's extended family and many friends."
He added, "This is an absolute tragedy and may God give them the strength to navigate this cruel journey of having their beautiful girl taken from them.
"May her gentle soul rest in peace."
In a Facebook post, Sarah's aunt Mary McNally wrote, "we are heartbroken. Rest in peace my beautiful niece Sarah."
Sarah died after she suffered a stab wound to her neck at the Ceilí House Irish pub on Grand Avenue in Maspeth at approximately 6.34pm (10.34pm Irish time) on Saturday.
The DCPI spokesperson said an unidentified male also had a stab wound to the back and neck, and was hospitalised.
"The investigation remains ongoing."
