Sentencing in Navan bus crash case set for next Thursday

The sentencing of Bus Éireann, Meath County Council and Keltank Ltd, arising from the investigation into the 2005 fatal bus crash in which five Meath schoolgirls were killed, has been set for next Thursday.

Keltank Ltd pleaded guilty earlier this week at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to one charge in relation to the matter in which another company, McArdles Test Centre Ltd of Dundalk, was acquitted yesterday by direction of Judge Patrick McCartan following an application by defence counsel, Mr Roderick O'Hanlon SC.
