Ceremony to mark four years since Creeslough explosion

A commemoration service is set to take place in Creeslough, Co Donegal, to mark the fourth anniversary of the explosion that occurred on 7 October 2022, claiming the lives of ten people. The victims included four men, three women, and three children, ranging in age from five to 59 years old. Family members and friends of the deceased are expected to lay wreaths at the site of the explosion, while local clergy will offer prayers in memory of those who died.

The Gardaí are continuing their investigation into the explosion in conjunction with the Health and Safety Authority and the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities. A file was sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in September 2025, and a supplementary file was sent in April, which included formal recommendations. The DPP has not indicated when a decision may be made regarding the case.
