A construction company and its owner who admitted failings in the death of a worker who fell from a defective scaffold have been fined â¬40,000 and â¬5,000 respectively.
Andezej Buraczewski fell to his death from the fourth level of a scaffolding structure, Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard on Friday.
The construction company owner on the site â Colin Wendel â had sought permission from the architect to have that particular level built by a scaffolding company for a price of â¬500, but the architect told him to have his own workers build it instead.
A subsequent report on the scaffolding found there were a number of defects, it wasnât in compliance with regulations and ânobody should have been standing on itâ, inspector Frank Kerins from the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) told the court.

Facing down opposition, Sandisfield selectboard approves large-scale cannabis grow facility
The selectboard approved the project with amended restrictions proposed by board member George Riley. Construction could begin within 12–18 months.
Sandisfield Selectman George Riley
The vote by the three-member board was unanimous and came attached with some conditions proposed by board member George Riley after discussions with town counsel Jonathan M. Silverstein. Most of those conditions were already in the application and in the host community agreement Sama signed with the town last year. The board revised Riley’s conditions slightly before incorporating them into the motion to approve the permit. Click here to read the revised conditions Riley provided to The Edge.

SANDISFIELD â A company s long battle for a permit to grow and process cannabis in the Berkshires advanced Monday when the Select Board approved the plan, and set a number of conditions.
Those include control of odors and noise, as well as security, hours of operation and use of 100 percent renewable energy. A surety bond to force restoration of potential damage to roads could face legal hurdles, said board chairman Brian O Rourke, but Sama Productions LLC is planning to take photos of the road before and after and to restore it to its initial state.
