Irish runner vows to repeat Boston race next year

An Irish runner caught up in the Boston marathon attack has vowed to compete in the event next year.

Bobby Hilliard, 49, from Clonakilty in Co Cork, said he would not let the horror of Monday’s attack put him off running in the iconic event again.

He was among the 108 people registered as Irish residents or citizens who took part in the race — all are safe and well.
