My thoughts & prayers are with the people of #Creeslough & #Donegal tonight.
To the first responders, Donegal Fire Services, Paramedics, An Garda Síochána & those working in Letterkenny & surrounding hospitals - we think of you tonight too, & thank you for what you are doing— Darragh O'Brien (@DarraghOBrienTD) October 7, 2022
Shock Has Reverberated
Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien says the pain in the village can also be felt nationwide and beyond:
"I think the shock that's emanated from Creeslough has reverberated right around the country."
"The community, the surrounding area, is absolutely devastated."
"All of us, right across the country - north and south and internationally too - our thoughts and prayers are with families, the community, those who are still injured and obviously badly injured as well."
