Only 1 was classed as critical earlier, but all expected to be ok.

Hopefully.
Fair fucks to those responders yesterday.
A utterly horrible and immensely challenging situation but they obviously performed heroically.

That poor community will never be the same again. Truly awful stuff.

What exactly happened in Cresslough? Cigarette to fuel or what?
Lads might have pops from time to time, but very few would see what our Gardai and emergency services see and go about their days in a proper state of mind. Incredible people

Looks more like a gas explosion overhead.
Cars that were at ground level seem to have escaped relatively ok. If it was a fuel explosion the impact would have been from the ground up, this looks like a collapse from above down.

Only hearing about this now. Horrific stuff. About as random a tragedy as can happen. Awful
News conference. 10 dead confirmed. One male still in a critical condition
A Mother and son and a Father and son amongst the dead.
Guards not saying the source of the explosion until after a more technical operation which is starting today.
Just seen the released pictures of those who died. The pic of the poor 5 year old girl in her school uniform would have you shook. Presumably was only taken last month on her first day of school. Ah just awful.

In buying a birthday cake for mom
They were from Zambia I think. Only in the area a year or so.
It’s completely numbing that something like this can happen so randomly.
I see Madigan was forced into a grovelling apology today
