Builders Fined Over Teen's Death On Site
Two construction companies have been fined £50,000 each following the death of a teenager at a Newtownards demolition site.
Philip Mulholland, aged 17, had started his first day at the Blacks Industrial Complex site in Short Street when the accident happened in February 2005.
Bangor-based company MMM Designs and Build Limited, the main contractor, admitted to two charges, while sub contractor Leslie Wright and Son of Newtownards pleaded guilty to eight charges.
Judge Peter Gibson concluded the companies had failed to give the young man any proper training and they were guilty of a "high degree of negligence".
