Judge McColgan agreed to adjourn the case until November 17
Defence lawyers entered not guilty pleas on Friday on behalf of two companies to health and safety charges which have been brought following the fire at Primark's Bank Buildings store.
Over 30 fire fighters, five fire Appliances, a Command Support Unit and an Aerial Appliance were drafted in to tackle the blaze. A barrister for Boyd Project Services Ltd, of Roguery Road, Toomebridge, Co Antrim, told the court that he was entering a not guilty plea to a single charge the company faced of failing to ensure the safety of non-employees.
A director of AF Roofing was present in the body of the court but was not asked to enter a plea to the two charges to allow discussions to continue between his counsel and prosecutor Philip Henry.In June this year, the Public Prosecution Service in Northern Ireland announced its decision to start criminal proceedings in relation to the incident.
“The prosecutions are in relation to alleged health and safety failings that were discovered as a result of the investigation by the NI Fire and Rescue Service and the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland following the fire.However, the cause of the fire was not part of the alleged offences.
