Arising out of the tragic accident on Wellington Quay, Dublin, on 21 February last a Garda investigation is under way and, in addition, Dublin Bus has launched its own company inquiry to determine the cause and the circumstances surrounding the accident. The inquiry will investigate the circumstances of the accident to establish its causes and any contributory factors and will make recommendations to prevent a recurrence. Where such recommendations refer to the need for new statutory controls on traffic, including controls on parking, the appropriate legislative changes will be urgently pursued.
