A man has been arrested by Gardaí investigating the Creeslough explosion.

Ten people died in the explosion in the County Donegal village on October 7th, 2022.

This morning, a man in his 60s was arrested for alleged offences contrary to the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997.

He is being held at a Garda station in the North Western region.

There have been four previous arrests in relation to the Creeslough explosion, three men and one woman.

All four were released without charge.

The Creeslough Family Support Group, a group representing around 40 people who have been directly affected by the explosion, met with Justice Minister Helen McEntee in late October.

The group told the Minister that their trauma to date has been immeasurable and reiterated the families’ calls for an independent public inquiry.

Robert Garwe and his five-year-old daughter Shauna Flanagan-Garwe, Catherine O’Donnell and her 13-year-old son James Monaghan, 14-year-old Leona Harper, Jessica Gallagher, Martin McGill, James O’Flaherty, Martina Martin and Hugh Kelly were those killed in the explosion.
