Vehicle-testing firm guilty of health and safety breach concerning school bus in fatal crash

A vehicle testing firm has been found guilty on one count of breaching health and safety laws in relation to the testing of a school bus which was later involved in a fatal crash.

A 15-year-old schoolboy was killed when the bus went out of control on a bog road just outside Clara, Co Offaly on April 4, 2006 after the rear drive axle came off.
