Dean Maguire, Karl Freeman and Graham Taylor were killed in a head-on crash with a truck in July 2021 while fleeing from gardaí.
A GARDA IS to face a criminal prosecution over his driving in relation to an incident in which three men were killed in a collision on the N7 in Dublin two years ago while fleeing from gardaí.
A designated officer with GSOC, Seán Campbell, applied for an adjournment of the inquest into the deaths of the three men based on the new development in the case. He claimed GSOC should be required to provide a legal justification why the men’s relatives should have another two weeks of “legal uncertainty” imposed on them.Solicitor for Maguire’s family, Michael Finucane, claimed there would be no prejudice to the garda by just informing the relatives of the victims about the charge which he would be facing.
He claimed there was nothing under legislation to prevent the coroner and his clients from being told the nature of the offence as Campbell was only stating a preference not to release such information. He explained that the solicitor would have seen all GSOC’s information on the case and would have known “what was coming.”
Addressing a large group of the deceased’s relatives who attended the hearing, Keane acknowledged that the issue was “very upsetting” for them.
