A man who died in a farming accident in Limerick on Saturday night has been named as Patrick Broderick.
Mr Broderick died when a wall he was working on at his home collapsed in Abbeyfeale in West Limerick.
Emergency services attended the scene but he was pronounced dead a short time later.
A technical examination of the scene was carried out and the Health and Safety Authority have been informed. Tributes have been pouring in for the man, who was in his 40s.
Local Fine Gael councillor Liam Galvin described him as a hard-working and lovely man.
He told the Limerick Leader: “He was a man who worked hard on his family farm, and looked after his mother Kathleen.
"He was very obliging. He helped people out, and always did what he could.
"You’d always see him driving his New Holland tractor in the road. There was always a piece of machinery on the back of it. That was his life."
One person wrote online: "Rest in peace my friend." Another added: "Rip so so sad."
A third commented: "Rest in peace Patrick condolences to his mam sisters and brothers."
Mr Broderick lived with his elderly mother Kathleen and is also survived by sisters Nora-Mary and Kathleen, as well as brothers Dan, David and Denis.
