Coroner warns of dangers of contaminated alcoholic drinks

County Donegal coroner John Cannon was speaking after he opened the inquests into the deaths of two men. The third man was treated at Letterkenny General Hospital. He believes the drink was either poitín or contraband ‘fake’ drinks.
Mr Cannon made the public warning, fearing other people may consume drinks contaminated with deadly chemicals, and most likely illegally made or contraband products.
