Statement by the Taoiseach on the Bombings in Madrid
The Taoiseach and President of the European Council, Mr Bertie Ahern, has condemned the atrocity perpetrated against the Spanish people in Madrid this morning. He said, the timing of the bombings was clearly designed to wreak the greatest level of havoc and carnage. They are an attack on the democratic process and cannot be justified by any political cause.
The Taoiseach sent a message of support and sympathy to the Spanish Government and its people. He said, the thoughts and prayers of people across Europe would be with them and especially with the bereaved and injured.
