The parish priest of Creeslough in Co Donegal has said that having to pray over the bodies of some of those who died in an explosion at the Applegreen service station on Friday was one of the most difficult things he has ever had to do.

Speaking on Sunday, Father John Joe Duffy said most of those who died were known to him personally.
