‘Brian and Mark will be sorely missed’

FELLOW firefighters of the two men who perished in the Bray factory fire yesterday praised the commitment the men had given to the service.

Bray’s firefighters would never recover from the tragic loss of Brian Murray and Mark O’Shaughnessy, said senior assistant chief fire officer Joanne O’Connor.

“All of us here offer our deepest sympathies to the families of Brian and Mark. They are deeply in our thoughts and prayers. If there’s anything we can do to help them, we will gladly do it. There’s a huge sense of shock here.”
