    Fourth week? It hard to believe it’s been that long. It must be torture for the families knowing their loved ones bodies are out there somewhere

    The strength and resilience of those people in the search for their colleagues is unbelievable. And also that of local volunteers & those from further afield. Ciarán Smith’s sister was so strong in her appeal yesterday, I don’t know how she remained so composed in that interview. Hope they get closure very soon

    We are such a wonderful close knit community when tragedy strikes, it really is fantastic despite the tragedy that brings the people together.. fair play to everyone for helping in every way & pray that Ciaran & Paul will be found soon so they can go to their final resting place.
