Tragic firefighters' families to meet Ahern

The families of two firefighters killed battling a blaze at a disused factory will meet Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today to reiterate their call for an independent probe into the tragedy.

Retained firemen Brian Murray, 46, a father of 15, and his colleague Mark O’Shaughnessy, 26, both from Bray died last September when the roof of a building in the town caved in on them.
