A County Louth test centre has been acquitted on charges arising from the investigation into the fatal bus crash in which five Meath schoolgirls were killed on May 23, 2005.

A DOE tester has told a jury that the ABS warning light was working on a bus two months before it was involved in a fatal collision in which five Meath schoolgirls were killed.

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.
