Statement from Minister McEntee on Bondi Beach shooting

I want to express my shock and horror at the antisemitic attack on a Jewish community celebrating first day of Hanukkah which took place at Bondi Beach in Sydney over recent hours. All my thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones and the people of Australia. 

At this point, we are not aware of any Irish citizens who have been impacted directly by these awful events. Our Consulate in Sydney is continuing to monitor events and will remain in close contact with Irish citizens and the community locally.
