The Irish government is considering holding a public inquest into the Creeslough explosion, which occurred on October 7, 2022, in County Donegal, killing 10 people. Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan met with victims' families in Dublin on Thursday, acknowledging their persistent calls for answers and an independent investigation. While the minister expressed a willingness to explore an inquest, he voiced concerns that initiating it too early could jeopardize the ongoing criminal investigation, which has seen several arrests but no charges. Families are pushing for the inquest to begin, even if preliminary work can be done in parallel with other inquiries, emphasizing the prolonged wait for closure and the emotional toll of the tragedy.
