The dog at the centre of the attack was shot by members of the Garda Armed Response Unit. Three other restricted dogs seized at the scene have also been put down.
A vigil was held on Thursday night in memory of Ms Morey at her mother Lisa Morey’s house in Crossgalla, Limerick, and was attended by over 200 people.
Ms Morey’s sister Jolene Morey led a countdown at the vigil before hundreds of coloured balloons were released into the sky as a selection of Ms Morey’s favourite songs were played on a loud speaker.
