Gardai providing assistance to the British Police investigation into the London terror attacks

It's after it emerged one of the attackers had an Irish ID card on him when he was shot dead

Meanwhile hospitals in London treating survivors of Saturday's attack have stepped up security. 

It comes as British Prime Minister Theresa May confirms the UK threat level will remain at severe - meaning an attack is highly likely.

36 people remain in hospital with 18 patients in a critical condition - 8 are at King's College Hospital in south London. 

Dr Malcolm Tunnicliffe is in charge of A-and-E there - and has praised staff who came in.
