"Words on their own cannot convey the fathomless grief" of the Creeslough tragedy, the Taoiseach has told the Dáil.

Micheál Martin opened the Dáil business for the week by leading tributes to the 10 people who died in an explosion at a service station in the Donegal town on Friday. Mr Martin said that the victims "represented everything good and kind and beautiful about Creeslough, Donegal and our country".
