A book of condolence is to be opened in Derry, to allow people to pay tribute to the ten people who died in the Creeslough explosion.
Mayor of the Derry and Strabane District Council Sandra Duffy announced today that the book of condolence would be opened at the Guildhall in Derry from 3pm on Monday afternoon.
A vigil will also be held for the victims on the tragedy at the Guildhall on Monday evening at 8pm to allow people to pay their respects.
Mayor Duffy said: “It has been a deeply sad weekend for the people of Donegal, Derry and Tyrone as we watched in disbelief details of the tragedy unfold in Creeslough. There are no words for the sadness and grief we all feel. Our hearts are sore for the victim’s families and the wider community in Creeslough for their terrible loss. It’s a small rural community and for a tragedy of this magnitude to happen is just unthinkable. On behalf of the people of Derry City and Strabane District, I want to offer my condolences and sympathy to all those affected. I also want to acknowledge the work of the emergency services and the volunteers from both sides of the border who came together to work tirelessly all weekend as part of the rescue operation.
