Four days after the suicide bomb attacks in Sri Lanka that targeted Christian Churches and high-end hotels, the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has made a statement on the atrocity.
After a front page article appeared in the Irish Catholic newspaper asking ‘Why the silence Leo?’, the Taoiseach posted a message on twitter that he had written that same day to the Sri Lankan Prime Minister.
In the tweet, he said: “Wrote to the Sri Lankan Prime Minister today to expresss our solidarity, our sympathy for the victims and to offer our support following the Easter Sunday attacks”.
He added: “Freedom of religion is a hallmark of any free society. Attacking religious ceremonies is deeply abhorrent.”
