The management of an amusement park where a young man was killed in Tramore in Co Waterford has said it is shocked at the accident.

Gavin Mason, 22, from Artane in Dublin, was killed in what gardaí described as a tragic accident on a ghost train in the seaside resort town.

It is understood he was in the front part of a carriage with some friends when he stood up and fell forward, and was struck by the train.

Gardaí and the Health and Safety Authority are conducting separate investigations into the accident.

The ghost train has been closed until further notice.
