No one jailed in 10 years over health and safety deaths

Not a single person has been jailed over the last 10 years for health and safety offences, including where fatalities occurred, or for competition breaches.

The State’s independent legal advisory body said, in cases where people were given custodial sentences, all were suspended.

The Law Reform Commission conducted an analysis of sentencing information between 2005 and 2015, provided by the Courts Service.
