A 23-year-old woman has been named by a relative as one of the 10 victims killed in a horrific petrol station explosion in Ireland. Jessica Gallagher and her boyfriend reportedly lived in a flat above the petrol station in the Donegal village of Creeslough.

She died in Friday's blast, which also injured her boyfriend, who is now being treated in hospital, reports the Mirror. Three children, including a dad and his five-year-old daughter, are understood to be among the nine other victims who died in the tragedy.

Jessica's relative John McGeady posted on Facebook : "R.I.P. I'm sure you've all heard about the gas explosion in Creeslough. Unfortunately our cousin Anthony Gallagher has lost his daughter Jessica in the explosion. Jessica was in the same year at school as my daughter Flonnuala.
