Counsellors comfort pupils after friend's bomb death

Counsellors and teachers gathered at Mercy Secondary school in Waterford today to help pupils come to terms with the death of 17-year-old Tara Whelan, killed in a bomb attack while holidaying in Turkey.

Tara Whelan, 17, from Kilmeaden, died when the no warning terror blast ripped apart a minibus she was travelling on in the popular resort of Kusadasi on the last day of her holiday.
