90 people are now reported to have died in a military coup in Turkey overnight.

Over 1,500 military personnel have been arrested and Turkey's president has told the nation his government is in charge.

It's after a night of explosions, air battles and gunfire.

Turkey's state-run news agency says over 1,100 have been wounded.

Officials say the coup failed as Turks took to the streets to confront troops.

Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, says there will be consequences:

 The Department of Foreign Affairs is advising against non essential travel to Turkey.

In a statement Minister Charlie Flanagan is calling for restraint and respect for democratic institutions in Turkey, following last evening's unrest.

The Irish embassy in Ankara is providing consular assistance - anyone with concerns is asked to call 01 408 2000.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry has been commenting on the news:

Government supporters took the streets again this morning to express their support for the President.
