‘For all the evidence, we still do not have answers’

WHEN Majella and Mark Holohan entered Midleton Courthouse for the inquest into their son’s death, yesterday, their determined bearing left no doubt that they wanted further answers as to what happened Robert Holohan at the hands of Wayne O’Donoghue on January 4, 2005.

After walking calmly through a sea of photographers, the couple settled on a bench to wait for coroner, Frank O’Connell.

The most notable absentee was the family’s neighbour and one-time friend of Robert, Wayne O’Donoghue, currently serving a four-year sentence for the 11-year-old’s manslaughter.
