Three companies are to be prosecuted in the wake of the Primark fire, it emerged this evening.
The Northern Ireland Public Prosecution Service confirmed the firms face prosecution for alleged health and safety offences.
It is understood, however, that the alleged offences do not concern the cause of the fire. Sources say the offences are linked to the “alleged failure to safeguard employees” and the “[alleged] failure to ensure non employees were not exposed to risk to their health or safety”.
