An inquest completed on 21 June 1889 found culpable negligence against six individuals involved in the operation of the train.
Findings included negligence by those at Dundalk responsible for engine selection, the driver, both guards, and Mr. Elliott. A practical trial showed that a single brake van could have held the carriages on the bank, contradicting the actual outcome.
