APPLEGREEN founder and Chief Executive Joe Barrett has described yesterday as a “very dark day for Creeslough, for Donegal, for Ireland, and for all of us in the wider Applegreen family”.
Mr Barrett said his company will continue to support colleagues and the Creeslough community in the tough times that lay ahead.
“This is a hugely tragic event and I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the deceased and to the entire community in Creeslough,” Mr Barrett.
“We are utterly shocked and saddened at what happened yesterday. I would also like to offer our thanks to the emergency services, and first responders, who are dealing with the incident.
“We have been working with our local partners in Creeslough since 2014. We are providing them with assistance and support locally at this very difficult time. The Applegreen in Creeslough is at the very heart of the village and contains the local post office and supermarket.
“Our thoughts and our prayers are with the people of Creeslough. Today we mourn those who have lost their lives alongside the entire country. We will continue to assist and support our partners, and the wider Creeslough community, in the days and weeks ahead.”
