Carrickmines Fire: Pope’s sadness for victims and survivors

Pope Francis has spoken of his “deep sadness” at the deaths of 10 people in a blaze in Dublin, as the first five of the victims were laid to rest.

In a message from the Vatican read at the funerals, the pontiff described the fire at Carrickmines, south Dublin, as a terrible tragedy.

Hundreds of mourners packed into the Church of the Holy Redeemer in Bray, Co Wicklow, to pay their respects to the devastated Lynch and Gilbert families.
