Coroner accused of failing the families of deceased men
A lawyer for the family of one of three men killed in a collision on the N7 in Dublin two years ago while fleeing from gardaí has accused a coroner of treating the families of the deceased outrageously over her decision to grant an open-ended adjournment of an inquest into their deaths to allow for a prosecution of garda over the fatal incident, reports Seán McCárthaigh.
Solicitor Michael Finucane claimed the coroner, Clare Keane, was “fundamentally in error” in granting an adjournment without fixing a date for the next hearing of the inquest without hearing any evidence.
