An Irish family have been injured in yesterday's Barcelona terrorist attack. 

The family of four were on holidays in the popular tourist area of Spain. 

The parents of the family are originally from the Philippines but have Irish citizenship, as do their children. 

The Govt & people of Ireland stand with the people of Barcelona at this time of immense grief. We offer our sympathy, solidarity & support.

A spokesperson for the Filipino Embassy in Madrid confirmed the injuries, according to The Journal. 

It is reported that some of the family, including one of the young children, were seriously injured in the attack.  

The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

'Barcelona has a long history of hospitality and has over the years received so many people from around the world,' said President Michael D Higgins in a statement. 

'As President of Ireland I want to send the people of this great and welcoming city not only our sympathy but also the solidarity of the people of Ireland.'
