A settlement has been reached in the lawsuit following the Berkeley balcony collapse.

The deal, which is being kept confidential, is the second payout for the families of those killed and injured at the Liberty Gardens complex in California in 2015.

Five Irish J-1 students and one Irish-American were among the dead when rotten wood in a balcony gave way during a birthday party.

One of the six killed was a dual Irish-American citizen, Ashley Donohoe, 22, from California. The five others were Olivia Burke (Donohue's cousin), Eoghan Culligan, Niccolai 'Nick' Schuster, Lorcán Miller and Eimear Walsh, all aged 21 and from Dublin, Ireland.

Their families have since sued property managers and owners, as well as the builders and architects.
