Two men killed by garden centre wall
Investigations are underway into the collapse of a wall at a garden centre in Longford, Ireland.
Two men were killed, and four others injured in the accident, one seriously.
Just after 2pm on Tuesday, an internal wall at the Connacht Gold DIY and Garden Centre suddenly collapsed on top of staff and customers.
Six men were either trapped beneath it, or struck by falling debris.
One man, in his forties, was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at Mullingar Hospital.
A second man in his sixties, who had been in a critical condition, passed away from his injuries a few hours after the incident.
The Gardai and the Health and Safety authority have launched separate investigations.
It's understood they will be focussing on whether high winds played any part in the tragedy.
