A SINN Féin councillor remained in hospital last night after suffering serious injuries in a workplace accident involving a forklift and metal cage.

Kieran McGuire (40), from Aghyaran near Castlederg in Co Tyrone, was taken to Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry after suffering injuries including a broken ankle and fibula in the accident on a farm on Thursday of last week.

Party colleague, West Tyrone MP Barry McElduff, tweeted a picture last night of Mr McGuire recovering in hospital.

He wrote that Mr McGuire "asked me to pass on his thanks and appreciation to everyone who has sent him and his family best wishes in past week".
