A man with strong links to Ireland has been formally identified as a victim of the Grenfell Tower fire.
The Metropolitan Police this morning said that Denis Murphy, who was second generation Irish and had roots in Co Limerick, was among the scores of people who died in the fire at the London tower block in June.
In a statement, Mr Murphy's family said: "After an agonising ten weeks our beloved Denis has finally been identified.
"The pain, loss and sorrow we feel is indescribable and we have been left devastated with a gaping hole in our hearts that can never be filled.
"To us he was an inspiration and an amazing, selfless, caring person and we feel lucky and blessed that he was part of our family, and his warmth and love will stay with us forever.
"What really matters to us is what he stood for, family, friends, community, loyalty and love, and our lives will never be the same without him."
Meanwhile, a review prompted by the Grenfell Tower disaster will consider whether there have been "potential systemic failures" in building and fire regulations in Britain.
The independent review, being led by Judith Hackitt, will compare British regulations with examples from around the world to ensure the system is fit for purpose, particularly focusing on tower blocks.
The terms of reference for the review show it will also examine the "theoretical coherence" of the existing rules and how they actually operate in practice after cladding systems installed on high-rise blocks around the country failed fire safety tests carried out in the wake of the fatal blaze in west London, which killed at least 80 people.
