Gardai said the man suffered a head injury but the circumstances are still unknown.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Minister for Social Protection and Monaghan TD Heather Humphreys said she was sorry to hear a man has lost his life.

“First of all, our thoughts and prayers are with his family, and I would encourage anybody who knows anything about this incident to report it to the Gardai.”
