The Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said the people on the island of Ireland will be numbed by today’s horrific events in Creeslough.
The Fianna Fail leader issued a statement in solidarity with those affected by the horrific explosion which has so far claimed three lives.
He said “My thoughts and prayers are today with those who have lost their lives, and those injured in the devastating explosion in Creeslough.
“I wish to express my deepest sympathies to their family, and friends, and to the entire community of Creeslough, on this darkest of days for Donegal and the entire country.
“People across this island will be numbed by the same sense of shock and utter devastation as the people of Creeslough at this tragic loss of life.
“I would like to thank all the members of the emergency services, from across the north-west and Northern Ireland, who responded so quickly to the scene, and who are working throughout the night in extremely traumatic circumstances.”
