The deaths of Christi and Bobby Shepherd were a horrific tragedy and our deepest condolences remain with their parents. The safety of tourists at home and abroad is an absolute priority and we will continue to keep the area under review.

The Government is currently examining the Coroner’s recommendations from the inquest into the children’s deaths and will respond in due course.
