Death toll expected to rise following Brussels attacks

The incidents in the Belgian capital took place earlier this morning.
The National Security Council is meeting this afternoon to review Ireland's security arrangements following the Brussels attacks.
The council includes the Garda Commissioner, the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, and the heads of four government departments.
It's understood that such meetings are often held in the wake of international terrorist incidents.
The Taoiseach and other ministers will be briefed on the meeting's findings later this afternoon.
At least 34 people are feared to have been killed after two explosions at Brussels Airport, and another at a metro station in the Belgian capital.
However, up to 30 geography students and lecturers from UCC are currently on a trip in the Belgian capital.
Speaking to RedFM News from Brussels, UCC student Emily Healy said they are lucky they heard about the attacks when they did.
