Three more people have been arrested in connection with the Manchester bombing.
It comes after the UK’s terror threat level was escalated to ‘critical’ – a move which will see armed soldiers patrol the streets.
Meanwhile, the identities of many of the victims of Monday’s bombing are becoming clearer.
From Manchester, Richard Chambers reports.
A Tipperary woman has been describing her experience in Manchester in the days following the bombing.
Marisa Kennedy, from Lorrha, has been living in Manchester and attending the University of Salford for the past five months.
Some of the buildings in the University were evacuated last night around the time of the vigil due to the discovery of a suspect package, just across the road from her residence.
Speaking on Tipp Today she says that there is fear and shock amongst the community in Manchester.
