The death of a man yesterday two months after he was critically injured in a workplace explosion has prompted calls for a renewed focus on worker safety.

John Murphy, a 41-year-old father of young children, from Watergrasshill in Cork, had been in hospital since the incident at Stryker’s Anngrove facility in Carrigtwohill on April 18. He passed away in the early hours of Friday with family at his bedside. His family previously said he had been "living his best life" when the incident occurred.
