Investigations into workplace deaths of three men

Separate investigations are underway after three men died in workplace accidents over the weekend.

A German man in his 20s died yesterday morning from head injuries while working inside the controversial Corrib Tunnel in North Mayo. It follows the death of a 41-year-old man at a waste recycling plant in Ballymount, south Dublin, on Saturday.

Gardaí and the Health and Safety Authority have launched separate investigations into the deaths.
