Nice massacre: Irish bear witness to carnage on promenade

A number of Irish people were witness to the carnage in Nice. One of them, barman Robert Greene from Coolock in Dublin, was just a few metres away as he watched the truck driver plough through the crowds on the Promenade des Anglais.

He had just got off a bus with a group of friends as the Bastille Day celebrations drew to a close.

“I saw this truck and he cut through three or four people. He was already missing the bumper. It was horrific,” said Mr Greene.
