Emergency services at the scene of a fatal gas explosion in Killarney, Co Kerry, at the weekend did not immediately carry out a search of the scene because of safety concerns for their personnel.

A relative of a 59-year-old businessman, killed in a suspected gas explosion, has called for sensors to be made available to emergency services to check if a trapped person is alive inside a building.

Hundreds of mourners have attended the funeral Mass of the two brothers who died in last Wednesday's crash in Kerry, which claimed four lives.

The funerals of three of the teenagers who died in last Wednesday's crash in Kerry take place this morning.

UPWARDS of 1,000 sympathisers filed past the remains of two brothers killed in the horrific Co Kerry crash on Wednesday.
