Andrew McGinley’s lawyers say mental health treatment provided to Deirdre Morley prior to her killing sons and daughter should be examined
following a trial at the Central Criminal Court in May 2021.
Mr Higgins told coroner Cróna Gallagher that Mr McGinley’s motivation in seeking to widen the scope of the inquest was to identify circumstances which could prevent the recurrence of such a terrible event. He argued there was a strong public interest in extending the scope of the inquest beyond the immediate circumstances of the deaths.
However, counsel for Dr Gibbons, a consultant psychiatrist at St Patrick’s Mental Health Services, who treated Ms Morley, said the proposed extension of the inquest’s scope would result in an inquiry that would be “a radically different matter not envisaged by the Oireachtas”.Simon Mills SC said the inquiry being sought by Mr McGinley would not affect the real cause of death of his children.
