DPP to receive file on death of Bray firemen

CRIMINAL prosecutions could be brought in the case of two firemen who died while battling a blaze in an old factory in Bray last September.

The Health and Safety Authority, which investigates workplace accidents, said it is has joined with the Garda in examining the case, and said it intends to send a joint file to the Director of Public Prosecutions once its inquiry has concluded.

Brian Murray, 46, and Mark O’Shaughnessy, 26, were fighting a blaze at a disused factory on September 27, when the roof caved in and killed them.
