31 Jul 2026 Whitemountain Quarries Limited€1.2m fine for Whitemountain Quarries after fatal roadworks incident IrelandWorkplace safety and accidents €1.2m

At roadworks on the R238 in Donegal in August 2020, one wheel of a car dropped onto the unfinished hard shoulder; when the driver steered back, the car slid on the freshly laid surface and went into Lough Foyle; three occupants drowned and one was injured, and appropriate temporary traffic management was lacking. The company pleaded guilty to breaching its duties towards non-employees under s. 12 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and was fined €1,200,000.

What organisations can take from it

Employers at roadworks in public spaces are also liable for the safety of third parties; signage and guidance measures must remain adequate until the works are finished.
