Public Inquiry
The ICL Inquiry is taking place in Maryhill Community Central Hall, and started on 2 July 2008, after extensive refurbishment work was carried out on behalf of the Scottish Courts Service to make the venue suitable for the public inquiry. The Crown, the victims' families, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and ICL are all represented. The inquiry will examine over 20,000 pages of evidence and is expected to take three weeks to complete the first phase of factual enquiry. The second stage, which will look at causes and reasons, will begin in October 2008 and is expected to take a further four to six weeks. The inquiry is chaired by Lord Gill. Roy Martin Q.C., a former Dean of the faculty of Advocates, is lead counsel for the inquiry.
