Shock, but it’s business as usual

It was business as usual in most parts of downtown Boston yesterday as the city began to return to work after the horror of the marathon bombings.

Former Miss Ireland, Catrina Supple, originally from Youghal in Co Cork, and who works for a realty group in the Back Bay area, said there was a sense of shock rather than fear in the wake of the atrocity.

“There is a strong police presence but there is no sense of panic. It’s really business as usual,” she said.
