Judgement reserved in council's bid to halt road death probe

The Health and Safety Authority has argued before the High Court that it is legitimately entitled to conduct an investigation into a road traffic accident in Co Donegal that claimed the life of a 22-year-old woman.

Today on what was the second day of Donegal County Council's High Court action aimed at preventing the HSA from holding an investigation into the death of Sinead McDaid, Shane Murphy SC for the HSA told the court the HSA is entitled to conduct an inquiry as a result of a number of concerns expressed to it.
