A survivor of the Utoya massacre that left 69 people dead described coming face to face with Anders Behring Breivik for the first time since the day of the shootings.

IRISH blacksmiths have created nearly two dozen iron roses which will form part of a memorial to the 77 people killed in Norway by extremist Anders Behring Breivik.

Survivors of a massacre which claimed the lives of 69 people in Norway last month carried flowers to the site of the killings today, laughter blending with tears as they remembered the joys of an island youth camp that turned into a scene of horror.

COULD any of our political parties have assembled so many committed young people as the Norwegian Labour party did on Utoya?

A NEW Labour-led government in Norway could soon intervene in the Rossport Five row over a Shell gas pipeline in Co Mayo.
