Health and safety officials were last night trying to establish what may have caused a 12m wall to collapse at a DIY and garden centre in Longford on Tuesday, killing two men and injuring four others.

Kildare native Glenn Ryan is to remain in charge of the Longford senior footballers, following his reappointment by the County Board.

Meath and Longford could be in the unique position of having no managers on the line for their Leinster Minor FC opener in Pearse Park on Saturday.

Longford rekindled their championship hopes and memories of their February league wins over Kerry and Westmeath as a brace of extra-time goals saw them to their first championship win over Monaghan, 4-15 to 1-17 in an exhaustive qualifier in Clones.
