Silence to be held for bombing victims

A TWO-MINUTE silence is to be held in Ireland as a mark of sympathy for the victims of the London bomb attacks.

The Government appealed for everyone to observe the silence at noon on Thursday, July 14 a week after the explosions caused havoc across the city.

The gesture of sympathy came as it was confirmed at least 52 people died in last Thursday's attacks on the No 30 bus and three Tube trains.
