The death toll following yesterday's violence in Egypt has passed 500.
Health officials say 525 people died when police opened fire on protestors at two squares in the capital, Cairo.
The protestors had set up camps in the squares last month when the president Mohamed Morsi was ousted in a military coup.
Over 3,700 people were injured.
The London Independent's correspondent Alatair Beach has been in some of the morgues:
The Muslim Brotherhood, the largest political party in Egypt, is to hold a march through central Cairo today.
Ahead of the march some members of the brotherhood torched a government building in the city.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is advising Irish citizens to avoid non-essential trips to the country, with the exception of the Red Sea resorts.
