“The appalling massacre of music lovers of different generations, at a public event in Las Vegas will have shocked people all over the world.

On behalf of the people of Ireland, may I express my deepest sympathies to all those bereaved and affected by this brutal tragedy.

Our thoughts in Ireland, and of the Irish in the United States, are with the people of Nevada and the United States at this tragic time.”
