Today we remember along with many across the county, country and further afield the 10 people who died on October 7th 2022 in the Creeslough explosion.
They are; 48 year old James O Flaherty, 24 year old Jessica Gallagher, 49 year old Martin McGill, 39 year old Catherine O Donnell and her son James Monaghan who was 13, 59 year old Hugh Kelly, 49 year old Martina Martin, 50 year old Robert Garwe and his 5 year old daughter Shauna Flanagan Garwe and Leona Harper who was 14.
A commemorative event begins at 3pm this afternoon at the site of the tragedy. The area will fall silent at exactly 3:17pm to mark the moment the lives of many were changed.
A Mass will then take place this evening at 7:30pm in St Michael’s Church, Creeslough to remember those who died, those injured, and in thanksgiving for all who responded to the tragedy.
