Irish Justice Minister Helen McEntee said: “All our thoughts are with those injured, especially with the children, their parents and families, during this extremely difficult period. I have been briefed by the Garda Commissioner and will remain in close contact with him and senior Gardaí.
“It is my understanding that Gardaí are following a definite line of inquiry and are not looking for any other person at this time. This attack has shocked us all, and I have no doubt that the person responsible will be brought to justice."
