A 14th person has died following two terror attacks in Spain.
The latest victim is a woman who was injured in the coastal town of Cambrils, after a car ploughed into a crowd of people.
Earlier, a van ploughed through tourists at Las Ramblas in Barcelona.
Four arrests have now been made by Spanish Police who are still chasing some of those responsible.
Clare FM’s Fiona Cahill reports:
13 people were killed and 100 others injured when a van drove into crowds on Las Ramblas in Barcelona yesterday, while hours later, a car ploughed into people in the coastal town of Cambrils.
One woman died in that incident, while officers shot dead 5 men wearing bomb belts.
Police think the attacks – and an explosion in another town on Wednesday night – are all linked – three people have been arrested, but they’re still looking for at least one suspect following the attacks.
Mayo man Ronan McDonagh is travelling with a group of people from Clare who separated ahead of the attack.
He was in Las Ramblas when the attack happened and has told Clare FM’s Morning Focus that he took refuge in a restaurant.
His friend Aifric O’Neill, from Cooraclare, travelled instead to a nearby beach, following which news of what happened begun to unfold.
She says the reality of the situation is only beginning to sink in.
A book of condolance has been opened at Áras Contae an Chláir in solidarity with the people of Spain and in memory of those who have lost their lives in the twin attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils.
Cathaoirleach of Clare County Council, Councillor Tom McNamara says it’s a sad time in our history.
The book of condolance will remain open each weekday between 9am and 5pm and once closed, the Book will be delivered to the Spanish embassy in Dublin.
These people in Clare have signed the book today, they say they’re saddened by what’s happened.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has updated travel advice for those heading to Spain.
They say Irish people should increase their security awareness and exercise more caution in tourist areas.
Those in Spain should follow the instructions of local law enforcement, who have not increased their security status rating for the country.
