Three Irish Missing in New York Attack
Fears are growing for the safety of three Irish people missing since the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York on Tuesday.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said four Irish people are confirmed dead but more are unaccounted for.
Three Irish people listed as missing are: Anne Marie McHugh from Tuam, Co Galway, Martin Coughlan, Cappawhite, Tipperary and Ciaran Gorman of Sligo.
