The fall-out of the attacks in Paris is being felt around the world today, with leaders close to home and further afield coming out in defiance of the ISIS terror attack. In a time of crisis, citizens and politicians alike are showing solidarity in their condemnation.
US President Barack Obama has called it 'an outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians,' while Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said 'The capital is suffering at the hands of those who seek only to wreak havoc and destruction on civil society.'
This is a shocking attack on humanity. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families. We stand with France tonight.
