Whiddy Island Tribunal report

I have started scanning the report of the Tribunal of Inquiry into the accident at Whiddy Island. I will upload it in tranches. It has also been OCRd. This is, I believe, the first time this document has appeared online.

You can also view this Wikipedia page if you wish to read more about the Whiddy Island incident. It was an explosion of an oil tanker off the coast of Cork in the late 70s that caused the death of 51 people and serious environmental damage.
