Irish event focuses on reflection and peace

IRELAND marked the 10th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks with a simple yet moving ceremony hosted by the US embassy in Dublin.

As countries around the globe commemorated the memory of the victims of 9/11, several hundred people attended a “ceremony of reflection and peace” at the RDS in Ballsbridge.

The highlight of the event was the unveiling of a specially commissioned work by Waterford sculptor Seán Egan, which contained an actual piece of rubble from the World Trade Center.
