Dara is survived by her adopted son Fionn - who is almost 3.
Niamh says he is unaware about what has happened and is a "little ball of energy".
"Dara adopting Fionn means she has left him to us and I think he will be what lets us put one foot in front of the other".
Susan Keogh has been speaking to Niamh Fitzpatrick.
