Such a sad time for the people of Letterkenny and Ballybofey . They all remain in our thoughts and prayers .

𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟔𝐭𝐡, 𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟔

Today marks the 40th anniversary of a tragedy that remains deeply etched in the heart of our community.

On April 26th, 1986, Letterkenny was struck by an unthinkable loss when four young children - Sharon (14), Joanne (12), Adrian (4), and Kevin (18 months) - lost their lives in a house fire in Ard O’Donnell, along with their babysitter, Noreen O’Donnell (25), from Ballybofey.

We keep in our thoughts today, Angela and Joe O’Donnell and their children: Philip, Patrick and Joe Joe, all pupils of Scoil Cholmcille at the time; and their sister Noreen, born after the tragedy, who later worked here at Scoil Cholmcille.

We remember Noreen and her family in Ballybofey, and the enduring grief they have carried over the years.

It was a profoundly sad time for Letterkenny, one that touched every corner of the town and left a lasting mark on all who lived through it.

Today, we pause to remember, to reflect, and to honour the lives lost too soon.

May they never be forgotten.

Useful advice for asthma patients

Asthma flare-ups at Christmas can be linked to indoor air quality.

Remember:
🚭 Smoke and v**e fumes are powerful asthma triggers
🕯 Real candles can release harmful chemicals into the air
🌬 Poor ventilation allows irritants to build up indoors

To protect your lungs:
✅ Ask others not to smoke or v**e near you
✅ Choose LED candles instead of real ones
✅ Open windows when cooking or when a room feels stuffy

We don’t have enough hospital beds so get the flu vaccine , especially if you are vulnerable or have close contact with someone vulnerable . It’s free ! Just ask .
Antibiotics don’t work for the flu and treatment is rest , hydration with oral fluids and over the counter medicine for aches and pains .
