The Health and Safety Authority’s special investigations unit is proceeding with a major inquiry into the deaths last Saturday of two men carrying out work on Thomond Bridge in Limerick. However, it is unlikely their families will get a copy of the final report into the accident.

The outcome of a probe into the deaths of two workers who drowned when carrying out repairs on Thomond Bridge in Limerick will determine whether gardaí will launch an inquiry.

“There were a few moments on Saturday when I thought I would never see my unborn child.”

The company that employed two workers who drowned in a tragic accident on the River Shannon on Saturday has described their deaths as “heartbreaking”.
