Woman and girl suffer injuries after funfair fall

A WOMAN and a young girl thrown at high speed from an amusement ride were recovering yesterday after the accident at a Dublin fair.

It emerged yesterday an inspector authorised by the Department of Environment had pre-approved the amusement rides before the fair began earlier this month.

Gardaí said they were keeping an open mind into the incident after hiring an engineer to investigate its cause. The Health and Safety Authority though ruled out its own investigation saying the accident was “not work related”.
