A developer and a demolition company have been collectively
fined €150,000 at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for allowing
workers to be exposed to asbestos.
Finian McDonnell, director of Markethaven Ltd, Eblana Villas,
Dublin, pleaded guilty on behalf of the company to two breaches
of the Health and Safety Act at the former Spring Grove Service
Laundry on Shelbourne Road, Ballsbridge, on June 20th, 2003.
Thomas Gibson, a solicitor acting on behalf of Walmac Ltd,
of Hillview, Naas Road, Saggart, pleaded guilty to breaches
in relation to the same place and date.
Judge Frank O’Donnell said Insp Veronica Helley of the Health
and Safety Authority was “ignored by workers” when she inspected
the site in 2003 having received an anonymous complaint about
the demolition of the site.
