Funfair ride dismantled

AN amusement park ride which killed a 16 year-old funfair worker has been dismantled and replaced with another facility.

The slingshot ride at the amusement park in Tramore, Co Waterford where John Flavin died on August 4 has been removed by its British-based owners, James Booth and Associates in Wales.

The Ejection Seat has been replaced at the busy seafront park by the Sealion rollercoaster.
