A brief sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court heard a full inquest into the death of Detective Superintendent Colm Fox, which led to the collapse of the trial of Regency murder accused Patrick Hutch, is expected to go ahead later this year.
The inquest into the suicide of the lead investigator of the Regency Hotel attack will examine “events of the weeks leading up to his tragic death in terms of his interactions with other colleagues”, a coroner’s court heard today.

The trial of Hutch had already been stalled over the disclosure by the prosecution of e-mails between four gardaí. Det Supt Fox’s death was also the subject of an investigation by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission. A solicitor for Det Supt Fox’s family, Roy O’Neill of Fahy Bambury Solicitors, said he could not comment on the proposed scope of the inquest as they still had to get access to the written statements of witnesses. Mr O’Neill said getting those depositions as soon as possible was his “number one concern.”
