HSA not entitled to investigate Dundalk accident, court rules

The High Court has ruled that the Health and Safety Authority is not entitled to conduct an investigation into a road traffic accident in Co Donegal which resulted in the death of a 22-year-old woman.

Today, the President of the High Court, Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns, granted Donegal County Council an order preventing the HSA holding an investigation or prosecuting the local authority or its staff in respect of a single-vehicle accident which claimed the life of Sinead McDaid.
