The incident occurred during a Halloween After Dark event in Tayto Park.

Up to 10 people have been taken to hospital after stairs collapsed at Tayto Park in County Meath on Saturday night. The stairs collapsed in the newly built House of Horrors attraction.

Staff immediately closed off the area to the public while medical assistance was called. A spokesperson said the customers had been brought to hospital as a precaution and she did not know whether they had been injured.

The park, in Ashbourne, remained open after the incident, and will be open again today.

The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) is investigating.
