Jarvis under investigation for fatal British rail crash

Dan Buckley finds the project contractor for the School of Music has been dogged by controversy.

THE company employed to develop and manage the Cork School of Music is under investigation in Britain in connection with a rail crash in which seven people died and more than 70 were injured.

The project contractor is also being investigated for its involvement in other rail accidents in Britain. It has withdrawn from maintenance contracts with Britain’s Network Rail, the quasi-state body responsible for rail infrastructure.
