Pub death inquest is adjourned amid threat claims

AN inquest into the death of a man following his ejection from a pub was adjourned yesterday following legal submissions which included claims of threats to the lives of key witnesses.

There was tight security at Cork Circuit Court for the regular sitting of Cork City Coroner’s Court as the inquest of Anthony ‘Farmer’ Hennessy was listed for hearing.

Mr Hennessy, 40, died following an incident at the Mo Chúisle pub on Blarney Street in Cork on March 13, 2008. Three men were charged in connection with the death.
