“The majority of Irish travellers holiday in the area of Agadir, 250 km from the epicenter of the earthquake. The local airport remains open and flights continue to operate. Irish tour operators on the ground in Marrakesh are reporting that holiday makers in the area are safe.”
A spokeswoman for the Department of Foreign Affairs said it continues to “closely monitor the situation and provide consular assistance”. Dr Claire McCaughey, from Bangor, Co Down, who lives in Marrakesh, said there is a lot of trauma in the country right now.“One thing we started to see last night, that I wasn’t anticipating and wasn’t particularly prepared for was other complications that aren’t just trauma-related. For example, several heart attacks because people are so anxious and so worried,” she told RTE’s This Week.
