Carrickmines victims may not be buried for days

The five children and five adults who perished in the Carrickmines fire tragedy last weekend may not be buried for a number of days because of difficulties in identifying the remains.

Garda forensic experts returned to the Traveller halting site in Dublin yesterday to resume their examination of the scene. Investigations are expected to continue for some time.

Two children remain in hospital, one in a stable condition while another has been described as serious but stable.
