Judge quashes decision to exclude HSA report into fatal road accident

The High Court has today quashed a coroner's decision to exclude a Health and Safety Authority (HSA) report at the inquest into the death of a 22-year-old woman in a traffic accident.

The court heard that the HSA's report found that the cause of the accident, which claimed the life of Aisling Gallagher from Achill, Co Mayo, was due to the surface of the road. However the conclusions of that report are disputed by Mayo Co Council.
