Tánaiste Micheál Martin TD extended his thoughts and prayers to the community of Creeslough and affected families on the first anniversary of the tragic explosion.
While members of Fianna Fáil from across the country gathered on Saturday for the annual Cairde Fáil Dinner in Dublin, Tánaiste Micheál Martin TD began the proceedings remembering those who lost their lives last year in the Creeslough tragedy.
The Tánaiste extended his thoughts and prayers also to the families, friends, and loved ones of the victims of last year’s atrocity.
The Tánaiste took the opportunity to praise the work of all his Ministers in the great work their departments were doing, but in particular Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue TD on his recent strides in the handling of issues in relation to the ACRES Scheme, the Forestry Programme and Strategy, and the Nitrates Derogation Limit.
