Deepest sympathy to the families of the deceased and their extended community

Issued : Saturday 10 October, 2015

It is with shock and the deepest regret that we have learned of the tragedy in Carrickmines which has claimed the lives of a number of members of a family from the travelling community.

On behalf of the government i want to extend our prayers and deepest sympathy to the families of the deceased and their extended community.

We await further information from the site on this unfolding tragedy.

I would like to thank the emergency services and an Garda Síochána for their initial work in the midst of this tragedy this morning.
