Díreach agus muid tagtha le chéile le gnó na Dála a dhéanamh, tá Jessica Gallagher á cur i gcré na cille i reilig Chaisleán na dTuath, agus tús á chur le sochraid Martin McGill sa séipéal céanna. Tá ocht dteaghlach eile ag fáil faoi réir do shochraid. Sin sochraid i ndiaidh sochraide. Ba mhaith liom, ar ár son go léir, ár gcomhbhrón a chur in iúl do na teaghlaigh i gCraoslach agus i dTír Chonaill atá faoi scamall an bhróin tar éis an phléasctha thubaistigh an Aoine seo caite inar cailleadh deichniúr. Suaimhneas síoraí dá n-anamacha dílse agus leaba i measc na n-aingeal acu.

I ask Members to join me in expressing our deepest condolences to the community of Creeslough, particularly those who lost loved ones in last Friday's tragedy. Clearly, words cannot express the pain and grief of those who have lost family members or the loss felt by such a tight-knit community. Those who died, their families and the people of Creeslough are foremost in our thoughts in these very difficult days and in the weeks and months ahead. We also pay tribute to the bravery of the local people who helped the emergency services in every way possible. Beidh siad inár gcuimhne go deo. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha dílse.
