Said hope the culprits are caught with no evidence for their being 'culprits'.

I think there are Ukrainians staying close by so not sure if there were insinuations.

RTÉ

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said it is assisting fire crews from Donegal Fire Service at a "declared major incident" at the Applegreen service station.

4 dead now? People still trapped in the rubble? I don't like the look of this...

It doesn't look good at all. Explosion at 3.15 or so. Shop would have had a few customers.The blast was heard miles away.

Only back from the game in Omagh and just heard this news.
It's awful stuff altogether and hopefully there are no more fatalities.

That woman shouldn't be let make any public statements - I've never seen a so-called qualified professional make so many stupid comments, but this must be the worst.

Forgetting her, this is a terrible tragedy for a rural community,  we could all imagine our mother, father, brother or sister popping down to the local shop for a litre of milk and a chat, and to think that something like this could happen.
RIP to all those who lost their lives.

Looking at over site pictures there, presume that's a gas explosion?

That's what I would have thought too.
