DPP halts publication of Navan bus crash report

THE first report into last May’s tragic Co Meath bus crash, in which five young schoolgirls lost their lives, will not be published on the instruction of the Director of Public Prosecution.

The findings of the probe by an independent Board of Inquiry into the May 23 crash was conducted on behalf of Bus Éireann.

Yesterday, the company received a letter from the DPP saying publishing the report could be prejudicial to any potential court case associated with the crash.
