'We are not afraid' - Irish people in Britain react to the London terror attack

AT around 14.33pm yesterday a terror attack took place at Westminster in London.

Police has confirmed that there are currently four dead and 29 people have been treated in hospital - seven of whom are in a critical condition.

Amongst the dead is PC Keith Palmer, who was stabbed by the attacker while protecting parliament.

Two others, including a mother in her forties, Aysha Frade, and an unnamed man in his 50s were also confirmed dead.

The man who launched the attack also died after he was shot by firearms officers.

British Prime Minister Theresa May confirmed today that one Irish national was among those who were injured after the assailant drove through crowds on Westminster Bridge and attempted to gain access to Parliament.
