Ivana Bacik (Dublin Bay South, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I wish to express my deepest sympathies and those of us all in the Labour Party on the terrible, tragic and shocking news from Creeslough last Friday. Our thoughts and sympathies are with the families and friends of all the ten people who lost their lives so tragically, as well as with their broader community in Donegal.

We pay tribute to the bravery and courage of the emergency services and all who helped in the rescue effort. We are all heartbroken at the loss of life caused by this awful tragedy. We honour the names of those who died - James O'Flaherty, Martin McGill, Hugh Kelly, Robert Garwe, Shauna Flanagan Garwe, Catherine O'Donnell, James Monaghan, Martina Martin, Leona Harper and Jessica Gallagher. Ní bheid a leithéidí ann arís. May they rest in peace.
