Creeslough tragedy: Hugh Kelly to be laid to rest today
Last updated 14th Oct 2022
The funeral of Hugh Kelly is due to take place in the County Donegal village of Creeslough this morning.
The 59-year-old was a farmer, who also worked in construction and was the oldest of the ten victims killed in the petrol station blast last Friday.
His funeral will take place at 11am St Michael’s Church, and like many of the other ten victims he will be buried at Doe Cometary.
Hundreds of mourners have attended the funerals in the small church throughout the week to pay their respects to those who died in the petrol station explosion.
