Alliance Party Leader Seàn Neeson has written to President George W Bush to express his sympathy on the recent terrorist attacks there.

Seàn Neeson also joined many thousands of politicians and officials at a three-minute silence in Brussels last Friday.

Mr Neeson said:

"I was in Denmark and Belgium with the Enterprise Trade and Investment Committee to investigate energy matters and all of us were deeply shocked and moved by the events in America".

ENDS.
