Thomond Bridge: Families unlikely to get report into men’s deaths

The Health and Safety Authority’s special investigations unit is proceeding with a major inquiry into the deaths last Saturday of two men carrying out work on Thomond Bridge in Limerick. However, it is unlikely their families will get a copy of the final report into the accident.

Under current practice, reports are not made public and are only given to the HSA’s internal legal department and to the office of the DPP. While families are kept informed on the progress of HSA investigations, they usually do not get copies of the reports into fatalities involving loved one.
