On April 8th, today, families hit hard by the Kreese-Luff explosion are meeting Justice Minister Jimmel Callahan for the first time. Back on October 7th, 2022, a blast tore through a service station in North Donagall, killing 10 people and injuring many more. They suspect a gas leak sparked at all. Almost two years later, the Guarda investigation still drags on with no final word. These relatives of the dead and wounded want straight answers on what went down and why. Donna Harper, who lost her 14-year-old daughter, Lyona, welcomes the sit-down and hopes for real talk. There's a listener, Damian Tanzi, blast the government, saying they're the only ones who can launch a proper probe, yet they've done nothing. Minister O'Callahan holds firm that the criminal probe must wrap up first. It's at an advanced stage now. He pushes for justice through the courts with likely prosecutions, and only then might an inquiry follow if gaps remain. This noon meeting could shift gears for the family's still chasing closure, keeping

the pressure on for truth after all this time.
