The heartbroken family of a high-flying businessman who died in a workplace accident last week have been dealt a second “unimaginable” blow with the loss of his father in almost as many days.

Michael Carrigy passed away on Saturday afternoon less than two days after his son lost his life in a tragic accident at his coach hire firm, Carrigy’s Coaches, outside Ballinalee, Co Longford on Thursday morning.
