The proposal also includes ten steel pillars to remember those who died, but the relatives say this is insensitive as many of the dead were killed by steel and concrete
Families of the Creeslough explosion victims are appealing the planning permission granted for a new service station and memorial on the site of the tragedy, deeming the plans insensitive, cruel, and potentially damaging to ongoing investigations and future inquests. They compare the situation to the Stardust Nightclub and Grenfell Tower, which were not rebuilt, and find the proposed steel rod memorial particularly offensive given the cause of death for some victims.
