On 07 October 2022 a tragic incident occurred were a fatal explosion shook and shattered the local community of this small village in North Co Donegal were 10 people sadly lost their lives.
Three of our Comrades serving within the defence forces lost family members in this terrifying disaster. This really brought it home to me and this is why myself and the members of the 66th Inf Group UNDOF and would like to do something to offer our support and condolences to the people of Creeslough.
