MIKE LISTON, the 47-year-old firefighter and father-of-four killed in yesterday’s horror road accident in Co Limerick, had lost a brother two years ago in another double fatality.

President Mary McAleese met with the families of two Limerick men who were electrocuted at the wake of a 21-year-old local man during her visit to Limerick today.

More than 1,000 people gathered for a funeral today – just hours after a freak electricity accident claimed the lives of two men at the wake.
