Irish man in serious condition in Paris hospital after attack

An Irish man is in a serious but stable condition in hospital in Paris after undergoing surgery for gunshot wounds he suffered during the attack on the Eagles of Death Metal concert on Friday night.

The Irish citizen was injured at the Bataclan, in the 11th arrondissement, when three attackers opened fire on a crowd of 1,500, killing 89 people.

An Irish official confirmed the man, who was visiting Paris this weekend, was in a serious but stable condition after surgery.

Consular assistance is being provided to his family.

One of the attackers was shot dead by police while the other two killed themselves using explosive vests when police commandos raided the venue.

The attack at the Bataclan was one of six virtually simultaneous incidents that killed 129 people and injured 352 in Paris on Friday night.
