Well-known Donegal Valtra tractor and motor dealer Daniel (Dan) McGinty sustained fatal injuries following a fall at his dealership premises on Saturday last.

Mr McGinty established the McGinty Tractors business in Clar, Donegal town with his late wife, Brid, over 40 years ago and in recent years was joined in the business by his sons, Rory and Kevin. In 1996, he opened DMG Motors with the Skoda car franchise.

It is understood that Mr McGinty was working from a height when he sustained the fall and was pronounced dead on arrival at Letterkenny General Hospital.

The accident is being investigated by An Garda Síochana and the Health and Safety Authority.

He is survived by his sons, Derick, Rory and Kevin, daughters, Sandra and Emer.
