Shea Ryan, 10, died after contractor RJ McLeod failed to put in place adequate safety measures.

He said the headline figure for a fine was £1.5m but added that this was reduced due to mitigating factors, including the timing of the company's plea.

"This is a fine which will remind the company's shareholders and directors of the gravity of this offence."Prosecutor Saud Ul-Hassan previously told Glasgow Sheriff Court the building site was close to a playpark. Police were called and officers found Shea lying on his back with Mr Patterson and a neighbour beside him.Shea's mother Joanne Ferguson, who wore a t-shirt with her son's face on it in court, said she hoped lessons would be learned from the tragedy."That totally avoidable accident has ruined my life and my kids' lives - I don't even feel human anymore at times because of the grief.

The government is taking that money — what about the family? Looks like £60k to a victim fund so it’s unclear whether the actual victim’s family will receive any compensation. It’s socialism grand?

He shouldn't have been in there in the first place. I'd now sue the parents for trespass .

That’s ridiculous. Why was he in a building site with all the keep out warning signs everywhere.

Is that it? Mate life is priceless... They should be paying MORE!
