Body of Cork man returns from US

An Irishman who died in a US construction accident will be buried in his native Cork today.

The remains of Mike Flynn, 50, originally from the Conna area in East Cork and who relocated to the US almost 30 years ago, arrived back in Cork yesterday, ahead of today’s funeral ceremony.

Mr Flynn, who lived in New York and worked in construction, suffered fatal injuries while working on a building project in Florida last week.
