Bord Gais to be quizzed over explosion

Bord Gais is to be quizzed over a recent gas explosion in Dublin in which a man and his three children were left seriously injured.

The explosion in Rathfarnham in South Dublin demolished their family house last week.

Now members of the Dáil are to question the company about the explosion and ask Bord Gais to speed up the process of replacing old piping with new safer material.

Fianna Fail's Noel Flynn says Bord Gais has a very good safety record but he believes there is always room for improvement.
