United Nations secretary-general Ban ki-moon condemned the attacks and said "those responsible for these appalling acts of violence must be swiftly brought to justice".
He said: "These heinous attacks will only strengthen the commitment of the United Nations to help defeat those bent on murder, destruction and the annihilation of human development and culture."
One of the Tunisia victims, a woman from Ireland, was on vacation with her husband, according to the Associated Press, who quoted politician Ray Butler, who had spoken to the deceased's partner. He was inside the hotel when his wife was killed, it has been reported.
Butler told AP the man was "absolutely distraught".
The woman was said to be in her 50s and from the village of Robinstown, County Meath, northwest of Dublin. She is thought to have been one of 60 Irish holidaymakers in the country.
