The sentencing of Bus Éireann, Meath County Council and Keltank Ltd, arising from the investigation into the 2005 fatal bus crash in which five Meath schoolgirls were killed, has been set for next Thursday.

A specialist in braking systems has told a jury that the fact that the ABS was not working on a bus involved in an accident that killed five Meath schoolgirls significantly affected the outcome of the crash.
