A large trailer truck rolled off St George's Square early this morning at around 4:30am.

Earlier reports had suggested that the trailer had been given permission to enter the square.
"The trailer in question was parked in Republic Street in connection with the installation of Christmas decorations engaged by third parties. A magisterial inquiry is presently underway," the Ministry said.

Imagine the carnage that may have occurred if this incident has occurred just a little later?In any event , what caused this incident as all we will be regaled with by the police is the conclusive and informative revelation in that the "driver lost control of the vehicle !

What are those heavy vehicles doing on the newly refurbished square? No wonder we always have damaged pavements, streets and squares. Who is going to pay for this damage? Was the contractor dismantling the Labour's purposely built press conference budget marquee or were they putting up Christmas decorations? Can we have the truth?
