Donegal Man Loses Two Sons
The two sons of an Irish emigrant were among the victims of superstorm Sandy in the United States.
Damian Moore, originally from Portnoo in Donegal, lost his four year old son Conor and two year old Brendan.
Their mother Glenda made valiant efforts to save her boys.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Father Philip Daly, said: "I think that what added to the awfulness of the situation was the lack of support.
"There was no support forthcoming from some of the people in that area, when Glenda went to the doors looking for help, where they basically closed the doors in her face so this compounded the awfulness of the situation."
