Parish Priest says devastated mother will go on for surviving baby

The mother who lost five members of her family  in a horrific tragedy yesterday  in Donegal has said her baby girl who survived will be her ‘reason to go on’.

The man who called 999 as a family's car sank at  Buncrana pier has described the harrowing moment it disappeared before his eyes a matter of moments after the driver pleaded with him to call for help.

Parish priest Father Paddy O’Kane from the Holy Family Church in Derry city told the Irish Mirror the tragedy is the worst he has seen in 43 years and that the whole community was trying to come to terms with what has happened.

He said that devastated mum Louise McGrotty will go on for little Rionaghac-Ann, who survived the accident.
