The death of a man at the Tallaght branch of B&Q is being investigated by the Health and Safety Authority and gardaí.
The man, who is in his late 50s, was killed when he was struck by an object at around 2.30pm yesterday afternoon.
It is thought an item may have fallen fell from a shelf at the DIY store.
In June 2001, a 70-year-old woman died after an accident involving a forklift truck at the DIY superstore in Dorset in England.
However, B&Q say they take safety very seriously and fatalities in stores are rare.
I don't think i've ever heard a retailer saying that "fatalities in stores are rare". You don't expect to get killed in your local DIY store.
