A cheerleader and gaelic footballer were today named among the three teenagers killed at a St Patrick's Day party in Northern Ireland amid reports of "a crush".

Paramedics were called to the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown, County Tyrone on Sunday, where dozens of young people were attending a celebration.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said in the early hours of Monday morning that a multi-agency incident was under way, confirming two people had died and that two others had been taken to hospital.

Just after 7am on Monday, Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton confirmed a third teenager had died.

The victims were named as Lauren Bullock and Morgan Barnard, both 17, and 16-year-old Connor Currie.
