The man killed in an explosion in County Donegal yesterday has been named locally.
Stephen Montgomery is understood to have been clearing rock with machinery in the Bunbeg area yesterday afternoon, when he was hit by a rock.
Emergency services rushed to the scene - including the Defence Forces' bomb disposal team.
Stephen Maguire, Editor of the Donegal Daily, says Mr. Montgomery had strong roots to the area.
"He was a very well known man, a married man with one grown up child, and he had a lot of family in the area.
"There is a sense of disbelief, people are still wondering what exactly happened here, because no one really knows exactly what happened except that Mr Montgomery is dead this morning."
