How Irish is this?

From a story found here: http://www.breakingnews.ie/2006/04/14/story254177.html

A man is in a serious condition in hospital after a work accident in Roscommon.

He fell from a hoist while working on the town's Main Street at about 11am today.

Eye-witnesses said he fell from a great height.

The man was rushed to Roscommon General Hospital and gardaí are investigating the incident.

It's awful what has happend to the guy and all of that. But seriously, "Eye-witnesses said he fell from a great height." I feel ashamed.

almost as good as the series of pictures of someone whos car fell into a dock.
get a truck to fish it out and it falls inalso.
so get another one to fish that one out.

Third picture in that series is a really terrible photoshop job but funny nonetheless.

I was laughing at the trucks falling in the water dear.

I imagine the OP is talking about the great height sentence being a very Irish thing to say or something.

QFE.

I fail to see any humour, bad grammar or anything else "Irish" about the news story.

The trucks in the dock thing is old, but still funny...
