Families demand inquest over Bray firefighters killed on duty

THE families and friends of two Bray firefighters — killed while on duty last year — met with Taoiseach Bertie Ahern yesterday and demanded an independent inquiry into the emergency workers’ deaths.

Relatives of Brian Murray and Mark O’Shaughnessy also outlined their concerns over conditions at the town’s fire station during the meeting at Government buildings.

Following the meeting, Brian Murray Jnr said Mr Ahern had committed to speaking to his ministers about the tragedy which killed the two firemen last September.
