A Garda leader who was one of the first responders to the Creeslough tragedy fought back tears yesterday as he paid tribute to the emergency services who battled to save lives at the scene.
Garda Brendan O’Connor told the Irish Mirror: “I saw people act with the utmost professionalism and treat the victims with such dignity and respect.”
The officer, who is president of the Garda Representative Association that represents 11,500 rank and file members, was on duty on Friday and was involved in the rescue.
