Date: 12-10-2022

The Cathaoirleach of Mayo County Council, Cllr Seamus Weir, has opened a Book of Condolence for the victims of last Friday’s Creeslough explosion.

This will give the people of Mayo an opportunity to extend their condolences to the families and friends of those who died in the tragedy, and to the wider Creeslough and Donegal community on their loss.

In a statement, Cllr Weir said “As Cathaoirleach of Mayo County Council, I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those who lost their lives in Creeslough.  On behalf of the people of County Mayo, I extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to all affected by the tragic events of last Friday.”

The Book of Condolence may be signed in person at Áras an Chontae on the Mall in Castlebar, between 9.30am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday, or online at https://www.mayo.ie/BookOfCondolence.

Following a minute’s silence at Monday’s meeting of Mayo County Council, the flags at county buildings are flying at half-mast in solidarity with the people of Donegal.
