Department of Foreign Affairs monitoring the situation
820 people have been confirmed dead after a powerful earthquake in western Morocco.
The epicentre was the High Atlas Mountains - but the quake was felt as far away as Spain and Portugal.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is advising Irish Citizens in affected areas to follow safety instructions from local authorities, and monitor local media.
