Donegal tragedy: Grieving mum says baby girl is her reason to go on

A young mother who lost her husband and two children and her mother and sister in a pier-side tragedy has said her surviving baby is her reason to live.

Louise McGrotty, from Ballymagroarty in Derry City, had been away for a hen weekend when tragedy struck as the family went on a day trip over the border to Co Donegal.

Her husband Sean, 49, died alongside their sons Mark, 12, and Evan, 8, her mother Ruth Daniels, 59, and the grieving mother’s 14-year-old sister Jodie Lee.
