An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, has met with some family members of those killed in Friday’s horror explosion in Creeslough.
Mr Martin travelled to Donegal on Saturday and visited the site of the blast, which claimed ten lives, including a five-year-old girl and two teenagers.
On Sunday, having stayed in the county on Saturday night, he will go to Letterkenny University Hospital to meet survivors.
Having met with emergency service workers and local volunteers, Mr Martin attended a service at St Michael’s Church, with other political leaders.
