An out-of-court settlement has been reached between tour operator TUI and more than 80 claimants who sued the holiday company after 38 tourists, including three Irish holidaymakers, were killed after a terrorist opened fire on a beach at a luxury hotel on the Tunisian coast in 2015. Neither TUI nor Irwin Mitchell would confirm whether the families of the Irish victims are included in the settlement. They released the following statement: "The tragic events of 26 June 2015 in Tunisia shocked and devastated us all and changed the lives of those affected forever. “TUI has always expressed heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those caught up in the terrorist attack that day and continue to extend deepest sympathy. “The claimants have fought tirelessly to understand how the attack happened and to seek to ensure that lessons have been learned so that other families are not affected by similar tragedy.
