Flyover safety fears spark probe

THE Health and Safety Authority has conducted an investigation into multi-million euro works on a flyover at one of the country’s busiest roundabouts amid concern that an accident at the site is waiting to happen.

HSA spokesperson Niamh Parnell confirmed yesterday that inspectors from the authority had visited the Kinsale Road roundabout site following complaints.

She added that further site visits were also planned, but declined to comment on discussions which had taken place between HSA inspectors and the works contractors, Ascon.
