The prosecution contend the St Patrick's Day event was oversold on “queue-skip” tickets alone.
Five years after three teenagers died during an event at the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown, the owner and a self-employed member of security staff have been returned for trial following a protracted legal argument.
The event was sold as a “queue-skip” system whereby bus-operators organise the trip and people pay them to be transported and provided with a ticket which gets them into the venue without having to queue.Family 'living life sentence' after son's death working in storm Mitchell is accused of being a self-employed person who failed to ensure persons were not exposed to risk.The case itself first reached Dungannon Magistrates' Court on 2 December 2022, at which the case was scheduled to be returned straight to trial but numerous adjournments followed on the part of the defence.
He added: “Mr McElhatton and Mr Mitchell did not mean to cause any harm. That is not the prosecution case. It is a breach of duty-of-care to Conor, Lauren and Morgan and the prosecution say they are criminally liable and there was a fundamental failure to ensure the safety of persons.”
