The Irish rugby legend tweeted from Paris this morning after the terrible events of last night.

O’Gara, who is a coach at Racing Metro, a Top 14 side based in Paris, posted to thank his followers for all the messages after last night’s events in the French capital, where 128 people lost their lives as a result of a series of attacks that the Islamic State have this morning claimed responsibility for.

O’Gara reassured everyone that he and his family were OK but expressed his sympathy for the many families affected by last night’s tragic events.

A state of emergency has been declared in France while President Francois Hollande has declared that there will be three days of mourning in the country following last night’s events.
