The depth of grief, shock and sorrow was immense – six young lives so tragically and prematurely ended and serious injury inflicted on so many. "I would like to pay tribute to the first responders, medical staff and our wonderful Irish community who provided such fulsome support for everyone affected, especially the young people and the families directly involved." https://twitter.com/IrelandEmbUSA/status/1020761017930919937 https://twitter.com/IrelandEmbUSA/status/1020761652814282753
