Woman ‘fell out of moving car to death on motorway’
An inquest into the death of Irene Finnegan, aged 38, of Ardlee Road, Artane, heard that she was being brought for admission to St Ita’s Psychiatric Hospital, Portrane, by her parents when the tragedy occurred.
Ms Finnegan’s father Harry gave evidence that his daughter had attempted to cut her wrists with a smashed cup at their home on August 7 last. As a result, he and his wife Una brought Ms Finnegan to her local GP to secure a letter of admission for St Ita’s.
