Creeslough explosion families say they still have no answers

Ann Marie Boyle lost her sister Catherine O’Donnell, 39, and her nephew James Monaghan, Catherine’s son, who was aged 13, in the explosion.

Ms Boyle said she still finds it incredibly difficult to speak of that day.

“Every so often it just hits you, you just remember that they’re no longer here,” she said.

“Two people that were in your life, people you spoke to every day and they’re just wiped out, just gone.”

Ms Boyle said their family, like many others, want answers.

“It’s nearly two years now and we expect answers,” she said.

“We want to know why it happened? It should never have happened.”
