Gardaí have named the two men killed in a freak accident in Co Limerick yesterday.
Tom Liston (41), of Knockdromin, Croagh, Co Limerick and Niall Fitzpatrick (36), of Main Street, Broadford, Co Limerick, were killed while preparing to put up lights to guide mourners to the funeral of a man (21) who was killed in a car crash on Friday.
It is understood the men were towing a tower light and generator along a road when they hit overhead power lines.
Both men were brought to the Mid-West Regional Hospital at Dooradoyle, where they were pronounced dead.
Mr Liston's son, Robert (16) and brother, Mr Seamus Liston (49), as well as Mr Gerard Casey (23) were also injured in the accident at Boolaglass, near Askeaton, shortly after 5.00 p.m.
Mr Casey has been discharged from Mid-western general hospital, while the other two remain "comfortable", but under observation.
