The Taoiseach said: " I condemn in the strongest possible terms the murders in Antrim. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved and to the injured. I look forward to seeing those responsible brought swiftly to justice. We had all hoped that senseless violence was a thing of the past. Violence has been utterly rejected by the people of this island, both North and South, A tiny group of evil people can not and will not undermine the will of the people of Ireland to live in peace together. " The Taoiseach has conveyed a message of sympathy to the Prime Minister. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has also been in contact with the Northern Ireland Secretary. ENDS
