## Resource

A century after a candle sparked a deadly fire that killed 48 people—10% of Dromcollogher’s population—villagers gathered for a solemn remembrance. Taoiseach Micheál Martin honored the victims with a speech, plaque unveiling, and tree planting, urging reflection on life’s fragility. Culture Minister Patrick O’Donovan stressed the trauma still felt across generations, while Mayor John Moran revealed nearly every family lost someone that night. The ceremony ended with a wreath at the mass grave, as the community finally speaks aloud the grief they’ve long carried, ensuring no lives are forgotten and lessons endure.
