Firefighters’ families set for protest march

FAMILIES of the Bray firefighters who lost their lives two weeks ago have organised a weekend march to protest against the lack of full-time fire services in towns throughout Ireland.

The families of Brian Murray, 46, and Mark O’Shaughnessy, 26, are further angered and shocked that a Labour Party motion in the Dáil, on the proposed full-time service, was defeated by government TDs.

The two retained firemen died after a burning building collapsed on them at the Lower Dargle Road in the Co Wicklow town on September 26.
