Fourth Irish person confirmed dead in attack aftermath

A fourth Irish person has been confirmed as among the US terrorist attack fatalities.

Patrick Currivan, an Irish citizen who was resident in France, was on board the hijacked Flight A11 from Boston to Los Angeles, which slammed into the World Trade Centre.

Cork woman Ruth Clifford McCourt and her daughter Julianne were also on board one of the hijacked planes and were the first confirmed Irish dead.

Irish American priest Fr Michael Judge, who was chaplain to the New York Fire Department, is also among the victims.

It is believed he was administering the last rites to a fire officer when rubble collapsed on him.
