Apology After Preventable Tragedy | Belfast News

A roadworks firm has formally apologized in court to a grieving widow after her husband and two children died in a preventable crash linked to their unsafe traffic management. The company admitted failing to properly control traffic during resurfacing work, lifting critical safety measures and neglecting signage — leading to a deadly loss of control on a newly paved, slippery road. The victim, Geraldine Mullan, described the unbearable, lifelong pain of her family’s loss, while the company’s CEO offered a full apology and pledged sweeping safety reforms, including new protocols requiring director-level approval to remove subcontractors. Though the firm has no prior convictions and fully cooperated with investigations, it now faces a hefty fine as the court awaits further proof of its safety overhaul before sentencing.
