Riverdance Star on Lost Airliner

Wednesday June 17, 2009
Eithne Walls, a young doctor and talented Irish dancer from County Down, was among 228 people onboard the Air France airliner which disappeared last month. Eithne Walls, 28, from Ballygowan, worked in the Dublin Eye and Ear Hospital. Eithne had spent a year with Riverdance on Broadway, New York, before studying medicine at Trinity College, Dublin.

Aine Rooney, a dancing school teacher who began dancing with Eithne as a child at the Armstrong School in west Belfast said, "She was also a world standard dancer. At the Riverdance Flying Squad gigs, the books were always with her, she would investigate us and we always tortured her with our aches and pains."
