Yesterday marked two years since the Creeslough tragedy that shocked and devastated the community of Creeslough, the entire county of Donegal and the nation. I do not think anyone in the country will forget hearing that day of the tragic event that claimed ten lives and affected the lives of so many in Donegal. Its impact is still felt in Creeslough today. Shockingly, two years on the community is still waiting for answers about what happened to their loved ones. The Minister has said she will meet with the families but that is not enough. These families deserve answers. I call on the Minister to ensure a public inquiry takes place as soon as possible. We cannot leave these people waiting the way we did with the Stardust families. Justice delayed is justice denied. Will the Minister ensure a public inquiry into the deaths of those ten people who died in Creeslough two years ago will take place?
