RIP: Two men arrested over explosion that killed 2 Celtic player at petrol station due ….
Due to a powerful explosion at a gas station that claimed the life of a Scottish Celtics supporter, two guys have been detained.
Along with nine other victims, Kirkintilloch resident Martin McGill perished in the October 2022 explosion at the Co Donegal garage.
Before the bombing, the 49-year-old, also referred to as “Scotch Martin” in the community, had relocated to Creeslough to take care of his mother Mary and late father Joseph.
The investigation into the fatal explosion at the building complex in Creeslough continues to be coordinated from Milford Gardaí station with the support of different agencies.
The other people who lost their lives were Robert Garwe and his five-year-old daughter Shauna Flanagan-Garwe. Catherine O’Donnell and her 13-year-old son James Monaghan were also killed.
Fashion student Jessica Gallagher, Sydney native James O’Flaherty, shop worker Martina Martin, carpenter Hugh ‘Hughie’ Kelly and 14-year-old Leona Harper also died.
Mourners at Martin’s funeral – held just days after the tragedy – were told of his “kindness and compassion for others”. A lone piper led his coffin into the chapel, and a Celtic top was brought to the front of the building as a tribute to the love for his team.
Leading the service, Father John Joe Duffy said: “Martin was a carer who was filled with love, filled with kindness and compassion.
“Despite the awful, horrible tragedy that has struck at the very heart of this community, and broken our hearts, from the very first moment aren’t those the key words that have been in action in this community but have always been in action in this community.
