Gardaí Send Supplementary Creeslough File to DPP

The step pushes the case toward a charging decision by Ireland's prosecutors.

Overview

  • Gardaí advanced the case Thursday by submitting a supplementary file with formal recommendations to the Director of Public Prosecutions and by briefing families and renewing their appeal for information.
  • The explosion at the Applegreen service station and apartments in October 2022 killed ten people in the Donegal village of Creeslough.
  • The new submission follows a primary file sent on September 29, 2025, and the DPP will now decide whether to bring charges based on the investigation files.
  • Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has agreed to meet bereaved relatives in Dublin after earlier turning down their request.
  • He maintains that any independent public inquiry will be considered only after the criminal investigation and inquests conclude.
