Two men have been arrested over a massive explosion which killed a Scots Celtic fan at a petrol station.
Martin McGill, from Kirkintilloch, died in the blast at the Co Donegal garage alongside nine other people in October 2022.
The 49-year-old, known locally as ‘Scotch Martin’, had moved to Creeslough to care for his late father Joseph and mum Mary before the blast.
He was understood to have stopped to use the ATM when disaster struck. The tragedy became apparent when his car was seen at the petrol station after the explosion.
Two men in their 50s were arrested by the Gardaí on Friday morning for alleged offences contrary to the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997.
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.
