Donegal County Council has unanimously backed a motion calling on the incoming government to establish a full Independent Statutory Judicial Public Inquiry into the explosion in Creeslough that killed 10 people in October 2022.
The motion was moved by Cllr Frank McBrearty, who said he wants the inquiry to be called within the first 100 days of the government.
The motion was seconded by Cllr Thomas Sean Devine.
Cllr Ciaran Brogan stressed this is a non-political issue, and the most important thing for the families is that they find out the truth.
Cllr Gerry McMonagle said he doesn’t believe such an inquiry would impact on the garda investigation, which is ongoing.
A number of bereaved families and survivors were in County House for the debate.
