Ten dead, including children, at Dublin Travellers' site
Dublin (AFP) - Ten people have died, including a couple and their five children, after a pre-dawn fire Saturday at a site in Dublin housing members of the traveller community.
"We can confirm 10 fatalities now," an Irish police spokesman told AFP, but he could not say how many were children.
Members of two related families are believed to have died, including a baby as young as six months old.
"Unfortunately a husband and wife, their four sons and baby daughter and other relations are lost," said Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.
"It's such an unspeakable tragedy to have an entire family wiped out in a horrific inferno," he added.
