Deceased fireman ‘technically’ didn’t finish shift

THE widow of fireman Brian Murray who died in a factory fire in Bray, Co Wicklow, has claimed the local county council refused to pay his final call out fee.

Mary Murray, a mother of 15, said Wicklow County Council had refused to pay €40 because her husband did not complete his final shift.

“I was told that Brian could not be paid because he did not finish the hour. How could he — he was dead after being burnt alive,” she said yesterday.
