Cork Teenager Among Manchester Concert Goers
It's emerged that a Cork teenager was among the concert goers at Ariana Grandé's concert in Manchester where 22 people were killed and 59 others injured in a terrorist attack.
The Irish Examiner reports that Kiara McKelvey, who moved with her family from Tower to Manchester about two years ago, was inside the arena when the attack happened.
Her Uncle who lives on the Northside of the city said that she had to climb railings and avoid a stampede for the exits before she managed to escape to safety.
Meanwhile the UK terror threat level has been raised from severe to critical after the bombing - the highest level.
In a speech last night, Theresa May says that she believed that another attack may be "imminent"
The British Prime Minister spoke outside number 10 Downing Street and confirmed the news:
