Fines totalling €2.2m have been imposed on Bus Éireann, Meath County Council and Keltank Ltd for breaches of health and safety legislation arising out of the fatal crash in which five Meath schoolgirls died.

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.
