The workplace where a man tragically died yesterday morning in Co. Wexford has issued a statement.
Cooney Furlong Grain Company has offered its 'deepest condolences' to the family and friends of one of their employees who was sadly killed in a workplace accident yesterday.
Gardaí confirmed a man in his 40's was pronounced dead following the fatal incident which occurred at a grain store premises in the Caim area of Enniscorthy at approximately 9:50am yesterday morning.
