Picture: BBC
The Rev David Nixon, President of the Methodist Church in Ireland has issued the following in light of the tragedy which has plunged the village of Creeslough into great sorrow and anguish:
“On behalf of the Methodist family across Ireland and especially in parts of Donegal, I offer sincere and heartfelt sympathy for all those who have been affected by this tragedy. Those who have lost loved ones and the families and friends who are still uncertain about the future of those in hospital.
With others, I want to praise the tireless efforts of the emergency services who came from both sides of the border to help in the aftermath of the explosion.
Finally I would like to offer prayerful support to Fr. Joe Duffy, Curate of the Parish as he seeks to bring comfort to all who have been touched by what he has called, a ‘tsunami of grief’.”
