Dáil remembers victims of Nice attack

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has admitted “no defence can guarantee absolute safety” after last week’s terrorist attack in Nice which led to the deaths of 84 people.

The Fine Gael leader was speaking before an emotional Dáil minute’s silence in memory of those who died, and before the visit of French president François Hollande to Dublin tomorrow.

Speaking to the chamber during a 20 minute period of statements on the horrific scenes last Thursday, Mr Kenny said what happened follows Bataclan, Charlie Hebdo, and other bloody scenes, noting poignantly: “We have been here before.”
