Lets try to remember here that these reports are unconfirmed that 8 people have died, so maybe try to hold out a little bit of hope that no one has been killed till it is confirmed,

Really is a sad day though, if they have died, just lets not speculate till it has been confirmed.

This is not something you expect in Ireland! I thought the housemate was messing when he said it first.

May they RIP and may their families find strength at such a difficult and painful time

Updates from a reporter on The Pat Kenny Show:

-All inward flights are diverted to Shannon

-All outward flights are suspended

-Reporter said to 'fear the worst' hinting that 8 is the lower bound number of expected fatalities, could possibly rise.

That's the initial, unconfirmed report. Unfortunately, it could easily be inaccurate.
