An Irish woman killed in yesterday’s gun attack in Tunisia had been due to fly home with her husband today.
Lorna Carty, a nurse from County Meath, had been holidaying at the Hotel Imperial Marhaba in the North African country when an ISIS gunman opened fire.
It was confirmed yesterday that Lorna died in the attack, with a number of other Irish people in the vicinity.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has not ruled out further Irish casualties.
Lorna and her distraught husband Declan were in Tunisia as he recovered from heart surgery. They had received the gift from a family member.
“It was one of the hardest phone calls I ever made and it was so sad to hear what happened. It was supposed to be a time for them to go and enjoy themselves and relax on holiday. It was a gift that has ended so tragically. The community is shocked, the whole area is,” said local TD Ray Butler.
