Coroner raises road concerns

A CORONER is to raise concerns with the authorities about a dangerous junction near Kerry Airport following an inquest yesterday.

Cork city coroner Dr Myra Cullinane said she will bring to the attention of Kerry County Council the circumstances surrounding the death of Gerald Corcoran, 77, from Knockaderry, Farranfore, who died five days after a collision at the junction in the heart of Farranfore village on St Patrick’s Day.

Cork Coroner’s Court was told that the non-fatal injuries he sustained in the accident triggered a series of underlying health conditions which ultimately led to his death.
