An elderly man has died in West Cork on Wednesday afternoon after falling from the roof of a two-storey house while power-washing.
The accident, which occurred at a detached house opposite St Mary’s national school in Ballineen, near Dunmanway, just before 3pm, was witnessed by dozens of school children and their parents at school collection time.
