Inquest into boy’s death adjourned for eighth time

THE mother of a four-year-old boy who died after he was struck by a truck as he played, in August 2001, yesterday said it was a disgrace she had not received any information about the accident.

Joan Landy, the mother of Alex Cuthbert of Eamon Ceannt Tower in Ballymun, Dublin, said her family could not take the wait for his inquest any longer.

“Is there a possibility this could be adjourned today because at this point we can’t take any more?” she asked Dublin City Coroner, Dr Brian Farrell as he put the case back for the eighth time.
