Two people have been injured in a gas explosion in Cork.

The man and woman have been taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The incident happened at a cafe in the village of Ballinspittle at around 11 o'clock this morning.

The cause of the explosion isn't known - but Gas Networks Ireland say they is no natural gas supply in the area.

It's thought the man and woman may have been trying to change a gas cylinder at the cafe.

The village has been sealed off - and traffic is being diverted.
