Local TD Joe McHugh conveys sympathy to families of 8 tragedy victims

Donegal North East TD Joe McHugh has extended his sympathies to the families of the eight people who died in Sunday night’s horrific road accident.

Speaking on Monday morning Deputy McHugh said:

“I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the families affected by this tragedy. This is a very sad week for this area.

“This morning Inishowen and Donegal woke up to a nightmare. The number of deaths is too hard to fully comprehend. Inishowen is a very closely knit community. Everyone will have some family connection to one of the victims.

“The emergency officers who witnessed the accident have been traumatised by the tragedy.

“Now that the Gardaí are investigating this matter, it is important that they be allowed the necessary time to conduct a proper investigation.”
