Nicole Morey is being remembered as 'gentle and harmless' after she was killed in a dog attack.
The 23-year-old died following the incident on Tuesday night at a house in Co Limerick.
Ms Morey died after being attacked by a dog, understood to be an XL Bully breed, in the village of Fedamore in Ballyneety.
Three dogs were removed from the house and at least one dog was destroyed by Gardaí.
In a post on social media, her sister said her heart is "shattered" following the tragedy which happened on Ms Morey's birthday.
Justice Minister Helen McEntee has offered condolences to her family following the "horrific" attack.

Newstalk Southern Reporter Jamie O'Hara told The Hard Shoulder Gardaí are making a specific appeal.
"Gardaí at Roxboro Road they are asking anybody with any information to contact them," he said.
"Also Gardaí say they're aware of videos from the scene of the tragedy being shared online.
"They've put out a special appeal asking people not to share any footage".
Nicole Morey vigil
Jamie said a vigil has been announced for Ms Morey on Thursday.
"Her sister Jolene said she had spoken to Nicole just seconds before the incident, which happened on her birthday," he said.
"She has described her sister's death as 'like a bad dream' and says she's heartbroken.
"Tributes and condolences are streaming in for the young woman who has been described as gentle and harmless.
"Her sister has also organised a vigil to take place tomorrow evening, and she's asking people to bring yellow and purple balloons".
Restricted breeds
Jamie said the tragedy has re-opened the debate around restricted breeds.
"This tragedy has reignited the debate about so-called restricted breeds: these are dogs that are perceived or seen as more aggressive," he said.
"There's 11 breeds on that list.
"Earlier today Minister Heather Humphreys was asked about it and mentioned a cross-governmental stakeholder group she set up to examine the whole area of restricted breeds.
"So we await their findings on that," he added.
Funeral details for Ms Morey will be announced later.
