Sorry to hear of the accidental death of Mark (Pepe) Lyons in Ballinasloe on Wednesday. Mark many years ago lived in a caravan around Shannonbridge during the famous dropout hippie period and was well known. Working on a new building behind Salmons and Gullanes in Ballinasloe erecting guttering it appears that a length of material touched an overhead line and ended his life. May he rest in peace. Two other workmates were injured.
