Death of man in apartment fire a ‘tragic accident’

GARDAÍ are treating as a tragic accident the death of a young man in a fire in east Cork at the weekend.

They also appealed to witnesses to another fire which gutted the former Lough Tavern on Gould Street to come forward.

Shane O’Mahony, 23, died when fire broke out in the flat where he lived alone, at Bunratty House, Rushbrooke in Cobh, Co Cork, late on Friday night.
