Funds from the €1.3m raised jointly by the Irish Red Cross, Applegreen, and An Post for those affected by the Creeslough explosion that killed 10 people on October 7 have started to be distributed.

One family whose car is currently under rubble at the site has been provided with a replacement vehicle. About €35,000 has been distributed so far.
