Taoiseach offers condolences to People of New York

"This was a vicious and heartless attack on the people of New York, striking just a few blocks from the site of the 9/11 atrocity."

The Taoiseach has described last night's terror attack in New York as vicious and heartless.

Leo Varadkar has expressed his condolences after 8 people were killed and more than a dozen injured when a truck ploughed into crowds on a Manhattan cycle path.
