Creeslough Families Call for Public Inquiry into 2022 Explosion

Families of victims seek independent investigation as Garda probe continues into gas leak suspected in fatal Donegal blast.

Seven of the ten victims' families have formally requested a public inquiry from the Irish Government.
The explosion at Creeslough's Applegreen service station and nearby apartment block killed four men, three women, and three children.
A gas leak is suspected as the central cause, but the official cause has not been confirmed.
Solicitor Darragh Mackin argues that the Garda's criminal investigation cannot address broader issues of preventability.
Irish Premier Simon Harris acknowledges significant questions remain and supports considering the families' request.
