Safety agency in ‘complex’ probe of UCC worker’s death

The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) is still investigating the death of a popular member of the governing board of UCC in a workplace accident last year.

A HSA inspector, who is not directly involved in the probe, told Cork City coroner Myra Cullinane yesterday that the investigation into Frank McGrath’s death on campus last March is “very complex” and will take “some time”.

Gardaí applied for and were granted an adjournment of the inquest pending the completion of the separate HSA and Garda probes.
