Creeslough Service Station Blast Victim's Father Demands Answers Four Years On

John Harper, whose daughter Leona died in the Creeslough service station explosion four years ago, has spoken out against the enduring lack of official clarity regarding the incident. The blast, which claimed ten lives in October 2022, remains without a definitive public explanation, leaving affected families in a prolonged state of uncertainty.

Mr Harper described the ongoing wait for answers as 'torture and torment', highlighting the emotional toll on the families of the victims. The investigation, a joint effort by An Garda Síochána and the Health and Safety Authority, has yet to yield concrete conclusions for public release.

The Creeslough tragedy saw a petrol station and an apartment complex collapse in the rural County Donegal village. Despite the extensive nature of the investigation and the passage of four years, families continue to press for detailed information on the precise cause of the catastrophic event. This sustained lack of resolution underscores broader concerns about accountability and transparency in state-led inquiries following major incidents.
