'It could have been any of us...'
Ten people have been killed in an explosion in Co Donegal in what has been described as "the largest number of civilian casualties seen in decades" in the region.
Gardai did not provide any information on the suspected cause of the explosion, however, a spokesperson said it was believed to be a "tragic accident". Garry Martin, director of emergency services for Donegal County Council, said 65 fire service personnel were sent to the scene across Friday and Saturday, including personnel from Northern Ireland.
Earlier on Saturday, the Church of Ireland Bishop for Derry and Raphoe told MyDerry that the tragedy would "go on for years" for those affected. Meanwhile, the chairperson of the local Gaelic Athletic Association club in Creeslough, Naomh Michaeál, Liam McElhinney said it would take the community 'years to get over the tradegy'.
