TWO MEN HAVE died after a fire in an apartment block in Mallow, Co. Cork late last night.
The fire at Granary Court on St Josephs’s Road happened at about 12.10 am. Gardaí arrived at the scene and rescued a man and a woman from the building.
Gardaí say that they then attempted to re-enter the building but were unable to do so because of excessive smoke.
Fire services then entered the building a short time later and the bodies of the two deceased men were discovered.
Both men were then removed to the morgue at Cork University Hospital where post-mortems will be carried out.

Sandy sounds increasingly like my wife when she’s on the warpath!
It must get very windy in your house, does she blow hot or cold air?
Dept of Foreign Affairs is kind of late to the party with that advice. The east coast airports are closed. People couldn’t travel even of they wanted to.
The first paragraph does not make sense because you won’t be able to travel to the US. All flights are cancelled to the north east.
To be fair, the advice is also intended for people who aren’t necessarily travelling directly from Ireland.
Gavan, true but you can’t travel without the plane.
No, but like I said, if you’re not currently in Ireland and happened to be, say, elsewhere in the USA, perhaps you were intending to drive to the north-east?
People need to be told this? Anyone likely to look to see probably already has a fair idea of what’s going on there,
You’d be surprised (maybe not) at the stupidity of some people still.
Some still have to be told these things sadly.
Like the America packets of peanuts that has on the packets “Warning: Contains nuts” Loads of similar examples available).
Silly to state these things but sadly have to still be done because people can be stupid.
have your say
