Cookstown hotel crush: The ‘open wound’ of Greenvale

Earlier this week, Tara and Declan spoke to two fathers who lost their sons in a crush outside a County Tyrone hotel almost seven years ago – and during the conversation were struck by the fact that many young people were caught up in chaos outside the Greenvale Hotel.

So in this episode they spoke to two of them – Jack McCullagh and Darragh Dalton, close friends of two of three teenagers who died that night, Morgan Barnard and Connor Currie.

Jack and Darragh are now young men who since that night have done GCSEs, A-levels, degrees and set themselves up for careers – but who are still waiting for the day when they could be called to give evidence in court about that night.

They told Tara and Declan about how their lives have moved on since Greenvale, the lingering trauma they still cope with and how closure is so important to them and the victims’ families.

Meanwhile, Declan also speaks about talking to Mary Bullock, mother of the crush’s third victim Lauren Bullock, who has, until now, not spoken publicly about what happened. And we also have an update on where the criminal case is at as its long delay through the court system continues.
