    Just heard that there was a large explosion at the Irish Oxygen plant, this is the same place that also had an explosion back in November (I think it was November) ... looks like nobody has life threatening injuries thankfully !

    From http://twitter.com/#!/TheCorkNews

    "As far as we know, two people have been rushed to hospital. Their injuries are not thought to be life threatening."

    It's on breaking news now too. I hope the person isn't badly hurt.

    I work about a mile away and heard the explosion. I thought someone was after dropping a filing cabinet on another floor of our building. The guys working with me said it sounded the same 2 years ago. Heard the sirens then 10 minutes later. Hope they're all ok

    They are on the way. One acetylene cylinder exploded, other production halted.

    HSA will have a field day down there, and rightly so in this case. I hope they come down like a ton of bricks and throw the book at them.
