I went to the Irish and Local Studies Library in Armagh today to look at their old newspaper articles from around the time of the accident. I came across some interesting information in the 'Armagh Guardian' from 14/06/1889 - just 2 days after the incident. The newspaper contained a detailed description of events, witness accounts, lists of the dead, lists of the injured and an article on the inquest following the disaster. The information on the inquest continued through to the following week, 21/06/1889.
I printed off the articles and will get them uploaded to my blog in the coming days..
