Welcome to the RAIU website
THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION UNIT (RAIU) is an independent investigation unit within the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.
The purpose of an investigation by the RAIU is to improve railway safety by establishing, in so far as possible, the cause or causes of an accident with a view to making recommendations for the avoidance of accidents in the future. It is not the purpose of the RAIU to attribute blame or liability.
